Soulless and Uninspired

Rating: 2/10 (12 August 2005)

Seriously, this movie was just not well made. I can overlook the accents, I can overlook the bad acting, but.. Even the action sequences were badly done. Do yourself a *HUGE* favor and rent Troy or Gladiator instead; at least these either tell a story reasonably well or evoke an emotional connection to the characters. This movie doesn't do that; it feels like a Hollywood studio exec threw some money at some random well-known actors, and asked them to appear in a movie. Otherwise, it just doesn't hold together at all. My wife lasted 20 minutes into the movie; I managed to hold out for about 1/2 of the movie. It's just.. tepid.
