My theory on this low rating is that comic book fans rebelled against this excellent adaptation of their scantily clad comic heroine in the most vehement way possible, a rating of 1. The movie was very interesting, and well acted. I like the image they give S.P. and the Witchblade better than the impression I get from the comic. That impression is, as someone mentioned earlier, that the comic company's strategy has seemed to slip into relying on the 'bimbo effect'. Witchblade is a great choice of a movie, imo it lies solidly in the 8-9 range.
