Bless the Child

Pros: Basinger, Cody, Scenery, Christina Ricci, Dragon-Demon
Cons: Storyline, Character, Funny, Slow Pace

It’s a Paramount picture production. The movie “Bless the Child” 2000 is a lacking felling and dumb one, but it is a pretty picture, it is a chill factor, it encourage the emotions and makes the judgment. The director is Chuck Russell. It is ...

Pros: A good story for anyone
Cons: None

Bless The Child reminded me that Good always Wins over Evil ... when people pass up the chance to watch this one, they’re actually passing up a chance to feel blessed themselves, in many ways... What makes Bless The Child a blessing? The sense of ...

Pros: Could be worse
Cons: theres a lot better (just not in the theaters right now, head to blockbuster)

Sheesh I am racking my brain so hard to figure out what to talk about in this review...Bless the Child is one of those movies that you will leave with an indifference to it.

Was it a terrible beast of a movie? No. Was it enjoyable? No....

Pros: I didnt think it was great
Cons: stupid and not horror and story plot was not great

Bless the Child, is a horror movie and like most you have the good and the bad against each other. I was disappointed with the movie, I was waiting to see the little girl Cody doing more things and having more powers then what I seen her do.

...

Pros: the cast
Cons: lame, predictable, NOT scary, cliche-ridden, bad SFX

When is Hollywood going to grow up and stop making these supernatural thrillers about Satan trying to take over the world using methods that can be stopped simply by bullets? This is another quasi-horror/quasi-action flick about seemingly innocent ...

Pros: Tame little devil movie
Cons: Tame little devil movie

The worst mistake you can make if you're making a dopey devil movie is to take the whole thing too seriously. Devil movies are silly entertainments at best, with The Exorcist being a rare exception. Movies like Roman Polanski's The Ninth...

Pros: Rufus Sewell, Jimmy Smits, nice "what if" plot
Cons: None, for me.

The commercials made me want to see this movie. The reviews here on Epinions told me to avoid it completely, so I listened to my fellow Epinionators. When Bless the Child came out on DVD, I eyed it suspiciously, walked away, came back and eyed it...

Pros: Basinger,Sewell, imagery, some special effects, and active God at work
Cons: Good and Evil standard. Doesn't flow. Did they leave something out? Humor? Passion?

For it shall be deemed a failure by many. The movie was directed by Chuck Russell (MASK, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET III) who by his own admission, has never made a movie of this genre. Now we have to place the genre.

It isn't strictly "Horror...

Pros: Solid cast; intriguing premise.
Cons: A convoluted screenplay filled with unsubstantiated action.

I knew it: Tony Robbins is the antichrist. Okay, maybe not the antichrist, but an antichrist. Okay, maybe not Tony Robbins, per se’, but his “ilk”, according to Bless The Child, may very well be a demon appearing as an angel of...

Pros: Some of the computer generated stuff was cool. The little girl played her part pretty well as did the cult leader Eric.
Cons: Everything else was bad. Buh-Buh-Buh Bad to the bone.

Have you ever just been walking along and someone strikes up a conversation with you? You think they're just friendly people and then they go and try to recruit you for their church. This has happened to me on more than one occasion. I guess I look...

Pros: If you want to see a decapitated Christina Ricci, now's your chance
Cons: Godawful, convoluted nonsense

The movie is called Bless the Child, by the way, not Bless This Child, but either way the sentiment is the same -- this movie needs blessing, divine intervention and any other mercy a loving God can bestow upon it. The movie sucks in...

Pros: A few decent special effects/Holliston Coleman
Cons: everything

To be truthful, I have to say that I went to see Bless The Child well over two weeks ago. I still feel like I walked away from it with a profound sense of "Duh". The sad part is--I really wanted to like it..................there's just...

Pros: kinda pretty. sometimes funny
Cons: that humor was unintended.

Okay, yes, this movie is scary. That doesn't make it good.

"Bless the Child" is a hokey sensationalistic piece of trash that will reaffirm your faith and your disgust in evil.

Kim Basinger stars as Maggie, the skeptic...

Pros: I'm drawing a blank here.
Cons: Blood, ultra-religious, monotone acting, utterly predictable

This movie is NOTHING like the previews! Woe to the people who pay full price to see this movie, for they will be sorely disappointed. The previews feature a little girl who apparently has telekinetic powers and a man who is out to harness her powers and...

Pros: Decent acting, positive spin on Christianity, good wins!
Cons: Weak plot, theologically unsound, mediocre effects

“Bless the Child” is a suspense thriller with a surprisingly overt religious theme – that God’s power is stronger than Satan’s. Critics are panning this flick left and right, and although I will admit that it is somewhat simplistic, that the plot has...
