The Good:
The plot was kinda neat, good vs evil stuff.
Lance Henriksen was quite good in the film.
It had some interesting parallel story elements going on.
It had strong, if a bit strange, religious overtones that is was unapologetic about.
The Bad:
Some of the symbolism was a bit garbled.
Lance Henriksen at one point hands the boy what is supposed to be the first appearance of Spider-Man (which I think he calls Spider-Man number 1, but is actually Amazing Fantasies number 15), but the comic is obviously from much much later, probably the early or mid nineties.
I thought Sean Young's character and the little boy's 'girlfriend' were completely superfluous.
Overall: It was a lot better than I expected. It wasn't great, but wasn't terrible. It was a middle of the pack movie. Henriksen carried much of the movie though. A decent battle of good versus evil. I would rank it somewhere near Teen Wolf.
