Almost no action

Rating: 1/10 (26 March 2007)

This movie was surprisingly very boring. I thought it would be an action packed flick, but it took over an hour before the first fighting started and it was over within 10 minutes, Then the story progresses for another 15-20 before we got another fight and that was it. Well it looked o.k. the story was very thin. I still don't understand why it took them 90% of the time to tell the story. 85% action 15% story was what I had hoped for and what is should have been.
I also thought that the camera-work outside the action scenes was rather old fashioned and static. Looked more like Ben Hur (1959) Than Gladiator.
Very big disappointment and I really don't understand those high rating, because it was supposed to be an action flick, but it lacked the action.
