Laughably bad

Rating: 1/10 (5 January 2006)

Finally saw this klunker.
Inviting the ire of knowledgeable film scholars for probably misusing the term, I found the cinematography reminded me of old Harryhousen films "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad," "Jason and the Argonauts," and "Clash of the Titans."
Smarmy like that.
Awful script (did Oliver Stone really write ANY of this?), worse music, hokey cornball acting (although Val Kilmer, as usual, was excellent -- that guy rules)... and, seriously, why does Angelina Jolie use a Russian accent? She sounds like Natasha Badenoff.
And how is she the same age as her son?
Well, at least it's not a remake or a sequel. That's something.
Also, they could have made the whole movie without showing Colin Ferrel's junk, but I guess cooler minds didn't prevail.
