eye Weekly Adam Nayman The sight of Nicolas Cage dressed up as a 14th-century knight is inherently funny, but there are almost no laughs to be had in Season of the Witch. | 1 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli Season of the Witch teeters on the edge of slipping into the ''so bad it's good'' camp, but ultimately ends up being merely bad, and an early contender for a place on the 2011 Bottom 10 list. | 8 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers The real plague is the movie, a sci-fi hodgepodge of bad history and worse special effects. | 5 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs While it's not the worst thing I've ever seen, it's certainly far closer to that end of the spectrum as compared to the more desirable and pleasurable one. | 4 | |
