Definitely a Friday night popcorn flick. It's something to watch when you are bored, though the special effects and action kick major ass !!!

My grade -

It's Arachnophobia. Also a major motion picture. :p

I thought the movie was pretty good and the effects were awesome in a super-power kinda way.

I agree that if you like shows like Charmed or Buffy & Angel, or Smallville & Roswell even, then you'll probably like this one.

The one part I didn't really get was what was up with that one death of the guy near the beginning who's dark ghost thing (whatever they called it) kept haunting them was all about.

I actually like all of those shows, but I thought the Covenant was really really bad.

Oh, and the two male leads were almost identical, making the really lame "dragon Ball Z" style fight at the end almost impossible to follow.

I wouldn't recommend seeing The Covenant, even if someone put a gun to your head and told you that you had to go see it or die.

Can't believe I forgot that word.

Wasn't a bad film if your into that stuff. Pretty generic. Also things that took place that seemed just retarded to be in there like the kid taking the chick to the shower and then say "nope, nobody here". What the heck was that all about. :rolleyes:

i think this movie have some nice effects. dont have plans of watching this movie in the theaters but i think il have there DVD when its release.

delicado_cinco 09-21-06 08:00 PM

This doesn't seem good, but I'm not into the genre so it'd have to look pretty darn spectacular.

jingthebk 09-26-06 10:52 PM

Wow. five high school jocks with magical powers going to parties and fighting over girls while at the same time having to deal with their traumatic conflicting past. gag me with a spoon. this movie was terrible. the effects were well meant, but completely overdone. this movie could easily have passed as a TV show airing right after "Charmed". whoooo. witches, ghouls, spiders. MTV needs to stop making movies. they're AWFUL at it.

i don't know how they can sell this crap. the only reason i saw it was because i bought a ticket for it and was going to sneak into crank (i got caught). and instead of kicking me out like i deserve, they forced me to watch this atrocity of a movie that i payed for. curse my underage!

Wow. That's a lose/lose situation. Crank was horrible too.

Yeah I watched the movie last night, i would have to agree with the majority on this one.

lol..Yeah same thing I was thinking when I saw it.

I did like the spider dream though. It was kind of freaky.

Ive seen some pictures and trailers and read some reviews. it was even more boring than an hour in mij Society & Politics class.

Wouldnt dare wasting my money on it.
