It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The wicker man is worth a watch just for it's weirdness. Some of the bits are even comical but there are a few moments of creepyness.

This movie is so 70s, theaters offered 3-for-1 seats so guys could park their sideburns. This movie is so 70s, you'll need a special 8-track adapter to play it in your blu-ray. This movie is so 70s, the only bras you'll see are on Erin Go.(Get it? Erin go bra--? OK I'll stop now.)Ah yes, the 70s thriller. Stepford Wives, Coma, The China Syndrome, and the 70sest of them all, "The Wicker Man" are films characterized by a very cynical and existentialist "lone person against a world gone mad" vibe which probably mirrored society's reluctant awakening from 60s hippie flower power into the catastrophic reality of the Cold War, Watergate, and Volkswagen discontinuing production of the Beetle which I still can't believe."The Wicker Man" is the pinnacle of 70s awesomeness, beginning with the lone protagonist Sgt. Howie (Edward Woodward) arriving on an island of creepy, smiling, sex obsessed folks and their leader Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee), proceeding through bizarre musical numbers as comedically dark as anything in The Rocky Horror Picture Show but with traditional Irish instruments, gaining momentum as our hero quickly pieces together the clues of a murder/disappearance which the townsfolk "cover up" with about as much subtlety as the Three Mile Island nuke meltdown, and finally depositing us at a dramatic, exciting conclusion as shocking and perfect as the death of disco."The Wicker Man" has it all. Well, everything except for Nicolas Cage's epic bad acting in the remake ("Oh god not the bees!!" Lmao). No, despite the fact that I may sound like I'm calling this movie campy, it's actually very well done. You'll be amazed at how a single scene can blend singing & dancing with murder, powerful acting, the sexual frustration of our 40 year old virgin hero, and a seductive nude number courtesy of the delectable Britt Ekland, homina homina. Did I just blow your mind? Well buckle up your bell bottoms because it gets better, bucko.But rather than reveal anything more of the story, I'll just leave it to you to experience. If you're a fan of 70s thrillers like the ones I've mentioned, as well as lesser known cult gems like "A Boy and His Dog", "Phantasm" and "Zardoz", then pull up your favorite bean bag, dim the lava lamps, pop open a Fresca and watch "The Wicker Man". This movie is BOSS, daddy-O!

Pure Garbage. Worst acting, story, cinematography, music. Boredom all the way The main actor? Can't act. Dialogue was trash, bored me throughout. Christopher Lee is garbage, acting sucked. Non of the actors were any good. Story, plot, dialogue, screenplay, all garbage. Cinematography is plain, aim and shoot, no imagination. The colors, sets, costumes, all crap. The music was crap.This movie is just plain garbage. My rating is an F, 1 star. Not worth seeing. Not worth thinking about. I do not understand the high rating. I could not wait for this to end. Horrible.

A classic mystery film, which confronts two very different (religious) cults. Weirdness kicks in at times so it may be too much to handle for viewers who are not used to that kind of films. It really does leave you uncertain until the very end, and that is the beauty of it. The actors are also outstanding, giving you reasons to believe this is real. Landscape does its work, so the visuals of the film are undeniably stunning. Definitely not a horror film though, so do not expect jump scares. Personally, i think songs used to build up the scenes are serving their purpose, they are unexpectedly well timed. You definitely have to understand the story to know what is going on, which is not that simple, but it is worth it! Watch until the end!
