the wicker man and star nicolas cage and be by no mean a good movie and but i can not really say it one i regret watch . i could go on and on about the negative aspect of the movie and like the terrible acting and the lengthy scene where cage be look for the girl and have a hallucination and follow by another hallucination and follow by a dream sequence with a hallucination and etc . and but it just not worth dwell on when it come to a movie like this . instead and here five reason why you should watch the wicker man and even though it bad represent 5. it hard to deny that it have some genuinely creepy idea to it and the only problem be in it cheesy and unintentionally funny execution . if nothing else and this be a movie that may inspire you to see the original 1973 film and or even read the short story on which it be base . 4. for a cheesy horror or thriller and it be really aesthetically please . it pretty obvious that it be film on location instead of use green screen or elaborate set and so we get to see some very great scenery . there be also many nicely composed shot . it be a very good look movie . 3. nicolas cage be not so much an actor a he be a force of nature . whether youre a fan of his or not and it seem a if it impossible for cage to play a normal guy . there be always some kind of eccentricity or nerdiness he bring to the character he play and and personally and i be always fascinate by watch him in any movie he do . whether nicolas cage be great or terrible and he always bring his unique energy into play and and he be never boring to watch . he be terrible in the wicker man and but in the most wonderful kind of way . 2. a student could probably write a hell of a paper on this movie and a it seem to be the strong anti feminist movie ever make . see . you could write and this be what happen when woman be allow to run a society . also and the similarity between this summersisle society and a bee colony be pretty interesting and worth note . 1. if youre reading this and there probably a good chance you may have see a youtube video that have become very popular represent a collection of highlight from the movie and include cage run around in a bear suit and and of course and the infamous aaghh . the bee . my eye . line . these scene be hilarious out of context and and they be still fairly funny while watch them in the film entirety . i buy the use dvd at blockbuster for about 5 dollar . when you work that out and it about a dollar per reason . it a pretty good deal . note represent the unrated version of the movie be the best to watch and and it good to watch the theatrical version just for it little add on epilogue and which feature a cameo from james franco .
