Long delayed Red Sonja movie being released in August.

[Rich Watson]

After three years on a shelf it's finally coming out on August 15th and then digitally on the 29th.

Feels very much like a contractual obligation release and will probably end up in as many cinemas as the no-budget Hellboy movie from last year did.

You know, I was really rooting for this movie to be good, I really hoped this would be a movie worthy of the character. Those promo images from last year had me really hopeful.

And then I watched that trailer.


Fucking hell.

Listen, if this were the trailer for a series on The CW, I'd be like, okay, fine, might be fun. But this is the movie we've been promised for years.

And to think, if things had played out differently, we could have had a Robert Rodriguez-helmed adaptation starring in-her-prime Rose McGowan over a decade ago.

Okay, maybe the movie itself might be alright on its own merits, I'm sure the people who worked on it worked really hard to make the best out of what they were given, and maybe the result will be actually entertaining.
But that trailer is dogshit.

I'm usually pretty easy to please and even I think that looks bad.
And as someone who has developed a little bit of familiarity with the character after reading two or three volumes of Gail Simone's run, I'm really disappointed, there's a ton of potential in the character and her world, but this does not even come close to that.
It seems like there might have been some decent ideas in there, but the people involved just didn't have the skill or the money to really pull it off.

That looks like a movie that would have aired as a Sci-Fi channel original in 2010 and probably had John Rhys-Davies playing a King who has about 5 total minutes of screen time, but third billing.
