I think that's a very useful question. I haven't read the book either, so the whatever the movie brings to the table is all that will matter for me. :)
Sir Wolf:
its ok then for a movie. i guess lol. the ending was way to quick for me though

Wider target audience /marketability, I'd guess
Sir William:
I never read the books, but the movie drew me in and kept me. Helps that I'm a Purefoy fan and I'll watch pretty much anything he's in medieval-style; haven't watched The Following, wasn't interested despite the fact that he plays a very charismatic serial killer.

Saw Solomon Kane last night. I'd say 4 out of 5. Some cliche bits as expected, some parts nicely done. It almost felt like it should have gone in reverse. I thought the opening was great, and the ending a bit more lacking. Haven't read the books or heard of him before this thread, so nothing stood out as "wrong" to me.
