The Covenant Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
maddieluesse This movie is absolutely amazing! Not because it's good, because it's certainly not. Seeing a movie that is such a train wreck is highly entertaining, and I must say there is not not a thing about this movie that I did not find hilarious. I watched this with my friends, and it was tons of fun to criticize. I highly recommend everyone do this: just get a bunch of your'e friends over, make some snacks, and get ready to laughAs far as actual criticism goes, this movie fails at most aspects. The aesthetic of this movie is very dated: lots of crushed blacks and overall ugly yellow and blue saturation over most scenes, with terrible special effects. Dialogue is some of the most non intentional funny stuff. For example, I distinctly remember the lines "Harry Potter can kiss my ass" and "It's like a penis, but smaller", which were some of the most quotable among my friend group afterwards. The guys are supposed to be witches, I think, but their powers are never really explained, and every time the use their powers its just very cringe inducing and laughable. I don't think anyone in the production of this movie really knew what the plot is, so most of the time we had no idea what was going on and what characters motivations were. There is a twist I guess at the end, with one of the pretty boys turning out to be evil, and I guess it made sense,but it wasn't very good.It's very clear this movie was made for teenage girls or gay guys, because there are lots of scenes of just shirtless, sweaty guys in bed, or shirtless guys by the pool, etc. All of the main characters are very JCrew modelesc looking bad boys with very generic white boy names. There is also a romance in this, but both the leads have such one note terrible acting and bland chemistry, so it didn't really land.Overall though, this is such a quotable and stupid movie, so if your'e looking for that, you've found it. This is on Netflix, so it's easily streamable. If you love "so bad its good" movies, and want to have some fun, this is perfect. I could not recommend more how great this is to watch with friends and make fun of.
Bene Cumb The result is pretty annoying as someone got the idea to combine a teen movie and a vampire-type mystery. But the movie was made in 2006! Thus, it is strange that showing muscular male torsos, smooth female legs, kisses in the rain / during lightning, nervous relationships, college competition etc, on the one hand, and flying in the air, insects in bodies and in dreams, aged youth, flashing eyes etc, on the other hand, could create a good entertainment. The scenes are stupid at times and no actor is interesting to watch, it seems they were picked thanks to their model-like appearance.Renny Harlin has made stuff of different quality, but this could have been avoided. Additional points from me due to shortness - 1,5h was not too painful :)
nicole_ward So I watched this film after finding it by browsing around on IMDb. I'm really glad I decided to watch it! I wouldn't say it's the best film in the world, but I certainly enjoyed it. It is a typical teen/young adult film and therefore is aimed at this audience. I would recommend people to watch it but only those who enjoy these films that are aimed at this particular audience. If you are looking for a full, action packed supernatural film then you would be disappointed as you only get a bit of it. Yes, it is supernatural but there is not much action which I personally think would have made it a much better film.It obviously wasn't a huge blockbuster film (as many of the films I watch tend not to be), and therefore those looking for big Hollywood top rated films should stay away from The Covenant film.My main disappointment with this film was the ending. The ending is left on a cliffhanger and there should be a second film to follow I think. However, there is no second film so we never get to have the story finished which I would have liked to have seen.One thing for the girls – the guys in this film are seriously HOT.So, watch the trailer and if you think it looks like you could enjoy it then go for it!
Ellie Boeckman I don't understand at all why people seem to have this movie so much! I am by all accounts a fairly intelligent person, and I have had an interest in magic and witchcraft for as long as I can remember (one of my earliest memories is of being obsessed with the movie Matilda.) I'm a writer and a psychology student, and I adore history. From the reviews that I (painfully) endured reading, people's main complaints seem to be poor acting and a lack of real plot, which I completely disagree with. While there are parts of the movie with lack-luster acting, I wouldn't consider it to be anywhere near half of the movie and beg you to remember that this was near the beginning of many of the actors' careers, as well as that quite a few of the actors have gone on to star in many more movies and be fairly well respected in their genres. Yes, this is geared towards teenagers and contains quite a bit of 'fanservice', but lets be honest with ourselves: most witchcraft/magic-based movies are aimed at teenagers. As for the lack of plot...I don't find this to have any merit. I found the plot to be very intriguing - the first time I watched it, I was left guessing until that faithful moment in the pool, and my roommates (who I just convinced to watch it with me night before last) were as well, even with the hints that I was unable to resist dropping. One reviewer claimed that the father was only included as a way for the hero to win out over the villain, but the father actually played a much larger role - he was included as an example of the addictiveness of the Power and the consequences of its overuse. As for the accusations that it is a male version of the craft...grow up. Just because two magic themed movies have the same BASIC plot (and I mean extremely basic) of good vs. evil...doesn't mean they're the same. All movies...and books...and life...have the BASIC plot of good vs. evil in some way or another. If they have a plot at all, that is. All in all, the negative reviews that I read seemed to be argumentative and heated, and most contained little to no support for their arguments. And yet they accuse those of us who like this movie of being immature and unintelligent teeny-boppers who only like it because of the sweaty, attractive guys? I'm insulted. I'm sure you're all of at least adequate intelligence, perhaps your reviews were just a lapse in said intelligence or too emotional. I'd appreciate it, however, if you refrained from grouping the rest of us into people who "likes The Pussycat Dolls, thinks Paris Hilton is "hot" and watches MTV it's like some sort of wasteland" and "find would be boy band members "totally HAWT LOL!!!111!!"" Have a little respect. Just a smidgen.
