Typical Hollywood excess with no redeeming value

Rating: 1/10 (17 March 2007)

"Based on a graphic novel". Enough said already almost. A comic book by any other name is still a comic book. This movie was typical of so many current Hollywood extravaganzas. Filled with excess which seems to be the real reason for the movie. There was only one interesting character in the whole movie, Leonidis. The rest of the characters involved were cardboard 2-dimensional nobodies.
By comparison to "Gladiator" and "The Last Samurai" this movie is a shallow and failed attempt to portray "heroic" characters, but mainly just a blood bath for juveniles. The main characters of the aforementioned movies were interesting, multi-dimensional, with real character and truly heroic.
Save your $9 or whatever unless you're a fan of over the top, comic book films.
