the other thing wrong

Rating: 7/10 (14 January 2005)

was that two out of five could only be 40% successful, and boredom filled the gap. So it beats the Scottish film by a factor of at least 30. Angelina Jolie again showed that all she needs is nitro fuel, and something round her upper left arm. As usual, I didn't like camera blur substituting for the ice-cold crystal-clear full-colour experience that is imminent death. There's little else specific that I can point to as being no good, other than the lack of Issus, Granicus and especially Tyre. The latter could have easily been done as a brief CG shot. There were, probably, too many words, some of which were not entirely germane, and oveall an attempt to do something high-minded which did not quite come off either. On to Hannibal...
