ZEDD'S OPINION:
So, let's review, shall we? Julian Sands is way creepy in this creepy story about time travel and evil Warlocks out to destroy
all of God's creations. He has that great villain voice that works and he is way menacing as this character. The other cast
members do a great job and the effects are effective to tell the story. But there is a minor thing that bugged me, just a
little. Why didn't the Warlock have a name, you know my name is Gary I just happened to be a Warlock. But that is minor, but
I for a party one like to mention any abnormality in scripts. But it didn't spoil it for me and I can recommend WARLOCK as
a fun scary ride for fans of the horror genre. 9 STARS

VOLTRON'S OPINION:
Okay, even though I liked this movie and agree with what Zedd wrote, I have to air this or I'll never get to sleep tonight.
Evil Warlocks, that is a stereotype. This movie must have been written by Christians for Jehovah Witnesses who believe that
all magic is evil and that is not true. It's profiling that all Warlocks are evil. If they exist, then I'm sure that there
are good and bad. It's like saying all Mexicans are stupid or all African Americans are crooks, that's wrong. But now I'll
get off my soap box and give the movie 9 STARS.

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):
+ CAST (The cast does a great job.)
+ JULIAN SANDS (Julian does great as the villain.)
+ EFFECTS (The effects are impressive.)
+ STORY (The story works.)
ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):
- WARLOCK'S NAME (What was the Warlock's name?)
AND FINALLY....
- WARLOCK BIGOTRY (Saying all Warlocks aren't evil, just because Warlocks.)
