Witchblade

the best thing about the show was the low amount of digital effects they would use. Yes, they dropped in the Matrix freezes and did not overuse the bullet time effects. Yancy Butler not only looked a lot like the comic version, but her eyes and voice was exactly what the character needed. You could never put a blonde with a sqeaky voice in the same role.

If you have never seen the show, the location shots were beautiful. Plus the skyline shots with the Twin Towers hits close to the heart. I hate all those people who wanted to remove Tower visuals from movies in the DVD versions.

Oh, and the action and belly shirts were great.

Regardless of other comments, Yancey is not the classic beauty queen, but she is plumb sexy. I have enjoyed her in Mann and Machine, and Brooklyn South, in addition to several movies. This is entertainment folks, not literature. Rate it for what it is. I would hope that someone has sense enough to make this a series. It sure would beat some of the garbage out there such as Dharma and Greg, etc, others of that genre.

The guy who posted the first comments must have been unaware that the Witchblade Pilot was in the can before the premier of the Matrix. He should have read the comics which were written YEARS before the Matrix before he made his ludicrous comments.

This series was an action packed foray through history and lore as we watch Sara learn to use the powers of the Witchblade in her police work.

Yancy Butler does a great job in portraying the reluctant detective that finds herself bound to the mystical Witchblade... a weapon that can be wielded only by a woman of the artifact's choosing. She can see the past, future and the dead. These abilities to see reality from beyond the scope of normal perception can aide her if she can clear her mind of confusion long enough for her to utilize them.

I totally disagree with the above comment. I LOVED the show and this TV series should be out on DVD! A shame really that the show was canceled due to one of the actor's alcoholism. I think the show had a really good premise; there were strong characters; and also a strong female lead. Its been 5 or 6 years since I last saw the show. I just wanted to say how I really hope this TV series gets put on DVD because I would buy it; and so would hundreds of other people; see Amazon.com customer reviews for Witchblade. Please put onto DVD. I think whoever gets this onto DVD would find that there are quite a few people who have been touched by the show and would love to be able to re-watch it.

I am a big fan of Witchblade. I have every single issue on my shelf. And I always thought, as far as comics go, Witchblade had the potential of being pretty good movie. It doesn't have people running around in spandex and it doesn't have 30 years of story line like Batman, Superman and X-Men have.

But I was skeptical when I heard this movie was being made. If you look at the most of the witchblade comic covers you will Sara Pezzini nearly naked with stratigicly places green vine stuff. So my many concerns were a)are they gonna end up casting some baywatch bimbo and b) how are they gonna do the Witchblade?

My fears were averted. Yancy is an excellent Sara and offered a great performance. Second, they simplified the Witchblade so it still has it's main purpose but not as much special effect. It sets up for a series perfectly, and I hope it becomes a series.

My only grip is Nottingham. If you have read the comic, nottingham is suppose to be tall dark and super sexy. The Nottingham in this film is tall and dark, but doesn't have the sexy. Oh well, Maybe they'll get rid of the hat in the series.
