Bewildered

Rating: 2/10 (15 April 2008)

I'm trying not to pile on here. But this movie lost it's way so frequently that I was left with two questions. What was Stone hoping t achieve? and, Who on earth was the target audience? Stone just revived the antiquated swords-and-sandals epic formula and popped in some gay nuzzling. Structurally it's really a mess; it has flashbacks within flashbacks (Directors Cut) At various points I thought "I'm really ready for this to become interesting." But no it just soldiered on into obscurity.
Two words: "Blond Wig" Why on earth do you cast a dark brunette in the role of a golden blond god that then requires using awful wigs, and leaves Ferrell with thick black eyebrows? Ferrell may be hot but he's just not golden.
