ok and so i be an original wicker man fan and i usually do not like british film remake by american and so why oh why do i put myself through the most painful cinema experience ever . i be not a nicolas cage fan and i have some kind of moment of madness perhaps . the film be appal . the bit at the beginning with the crash or fire have no relevance to the film at all and the female cop know where edward be go and so the bit at the end with the two girl visit the mainland and well it wouldn not have happen a the whole thing would have be investigate . the history behind the wicker man wasn not really explored and i guess be set in america do not really help the whole pagan theme . this film be slow and contain no atmosphere or suspense . i must say that the best bit be right at the end and when nicolas cage go up in flame . i be in such desperate need to see the original again now and in order to cleanse my disappointed soul . i really can not stress how disappointing this film be and please do not see it if you representa ) don not like american re make of british film b ) be a fan of the original c ) hate nicolas cage .
