Waste of money

Rating: 1/10 (26 November 2004)

Wow. What a disappointment. Accents gone crazy (Angelina Jolie Russian and everyone else is English, Scottish or Irish; Val Kilmer is Irish too!!), an overly strong gay theme (not that there's anything wrong with that), silly camera work (makes the NYPD Blue opening look like plate shots), odd symbolism (that frigging eagle), unjustified self-indulgent speeches (including the long boring opening), bad make-up (check out those beards), crappy battle scenes (covered up with surreal imagery) and strange chronological flip flops.
I can't say which is worse, this or Battlefield Earth. It certainly wasn't as good as Joan of Arc.
