Summary: Worst movie in years
Review: This was the worst most unberable movie in a long time. It was postponed for a while and wasting my money to go see it showed me why. It made no sence at all. The scenes looked like they were just thown together out of order with no meaning. So many things not explained or reasons for. Dont waste the time or money on this. Any good reviews on this must be from people who dont get to the movies much because if you are a big movie goer there is no way you could have thought this to be a good movie. Check out critic reviews and you will see they were right for a change.

Summary: The Order is a must see!!
Review: Okay, if you think Heath Ledger is even somewhat cute, you have to see this movie because he is sexy! Yes, I know, liking the priest. This movie was so diverse in that it could be an any catagory besides maybe western. I don't know exactly what Brian was trying to get across in this movie, it was sooo much different than his work in A Knight's Tale!! But it seems to me that Brian likes to tell stories and likes to take history and make some story based on the history he's learned about it. In this case, it comes from the story of the sin eater. The movie was originally called "The Sin Eater" but probably because of promotional reasons it was called "The Order" this is a movie that you really have to think for yourself about, most people liked it or hated it, so watch it and see for yourself, I don't believe you will be sooo disappointed however, because of the amazing cast.

Summary: The simple twist of irony makes all the difference..
Review: I, personally, Thought the movie was excellent.Then again, that's probably because the main reason I was first interested in watching it was because it starred a foreign actor that I'm greatly familiar with. That would be Benno Fürmann, a German actor who played the delightful role of the Sineater. He gave an outstanding performance in his first English film, and for that I was very satisfied. The movie mainly follows around the plot of an underground, evil religious order taking place under the Catholic church. That immediately drew me in, because I love plots that deal with elements that are supposed to be pure and full of good intention, (in this case, the church) but make them malignant and spiteful. It's a simple twist of irony that makes it so delightfully evil, something you don't see everyday. And besides that, the movie DID involve thinking and paying attention in order to understand it to the fullest. I didn't mind that a bit; And sure, there were the typical elements of romance, sacrafice and the good old fight between good and evil, but the setting was new as well as the plot, making it an interesting progression the whole way through. These are, of course, based on my own opinions and personal expiriences; so I only ask that when you do see this movie for a first or second time, (or maybe more, perhaps) please do so with an open mind. It's a great movie with a great performance; and given your chance, it will pull you in.

Summary: I LOVED this movie
Review: Everyone seems to not like this movie, but I LOVED IT!! I'm not one to follow the trend so don't think I'm just saying this because I have some sort of moive star crush on Heath Ledger.

Summary: there's so much to hate, so where do i start?
Review: well... i love the arcane, horrifying, supernatural, blah blah blah... my biggest problem with this movie is that the characters are just so darm 2-dimensional i can't even be bothered what happens to them. that's bad when it's supposed to be a character driven movie. well, heath ledger did a pretty good job as alex, and his fellow priest dude was alright too. the thing is the movie loses its steam like, about 1/2 hour into the movie... and that's sad. i think the premise of the movie was pretty interesting, but sadly, the movie just plods along... like they don't really know where it's supposed to go. and sheesh, the character of alex's girlfriend is so ridiculous she looks half stoned for most of the part, like she's even wondering what the heck she's doing in it. so disturbingly dismal that i don't even know why they bothered showing it. and people, whatever they had on the trailer was the only interesting part of the movie. oh, and they forgot to tell you that you had to go through like 3 hours before the stupid ending. i just wished that everybody was killed at least an hour before that. then i could've gone out of the theater earlier. 2 stars because of the idea of the movie, and some solid performance.

Summary: The Order-worst of the year
Review: lets make this short and sweet. This movie has some great ideas and concepts, but there was no story here. They threw in the basic elements of love, sacrifice, battle between good and evil, but they never actually developed any of it to make sense. quite simply, the movie makes you constantly feel like "SHUT UP!! WHO CARES!!". If movie tickets didn't cost so much I would have walked out, but I decided to punish myself and stay till the crappy end. This was the first movie me and my friends could talk loud and make fun of the movie while it was playing and the audience enjoyed us more then this film.... acting=3 stars
FX=NA
ending=3 stars
atmosphere=4.5 stars
Editing&Directing=2 star
storyline=2 stars
meaningfullness=1 star OVERALL 2.58 stars

Summary: What the heck. 1.5 stars
Review: This is just so utterly ridiculous that it's not even funny. Some movies such as Dead Alive are ridiculous, but it's doing it to be funy. This is doing that but being serious and on top of that they hire worthless talentless actors and find one of the reject scripts and put this mishmash of a film together. AVOID!

Summary: Dark And Delightful
Review: After reading numerous critics' reviews of this movie, I went in with the lowest of expectations. In fact, if not for the insistence of my wife, I wouldn't have even bothered checking it out. I admit to being pleasantly surprised. I'd give it a solid 3.5 stars. This movie delves into the dark side of the Catholic church. Peter Weller is delightfully evil as the "dark pope." Heath Ledger is solid as always. Jon Laurimore turns in a solid, awesome performance as the "Sin Eater", and Shannyn Sassamon gives the only questionable performance. I just couldn't figure out if she was trying to really get into her mentally disturbed character, or if she was too sleepy to really care. As for the story, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pacing was great for me. This is not an in your face, gross out, thrill a minute, jump out of your seat movie. It gets under your skin, and deep in the dark recesses of your mind. It's creepy and disturbing. The movie highlights some fallacies within the beliefs and hiearchy of Catholicism. It is a dark fantasy, and should be accepted as such. If you aren't certain about it, wait for the DVD, but one way or the other, I think you'll enjoy it.

Summary: Not for those uncomfortable questioning religion
Review: A thought provoking and entertaining film with lots of imagery and some jump out of your seats moments. Not an action thrill ride but not slow moving either. Would certainly make people uncomfortable if they devoutly believed all church teachings.
The story was well acted and Heath Ledger especially gave a mature and "old soul," feel to his approach.
