Stinkfest to the MAX

Rating: 1/10 (17 May 2005)

This is close to being the worst movie I've ever seen. I'm not quite sure whether it was worse than Battlefield Earth. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason as to the scenes they showed and those that were merely narrated by Hopkins; for most of the time it seemed like an over glorified documentary because of the awkward narration given my Ptolemy. When something finally wasn't arbitrarily skipped over by the filmmakers, the ensuing battle scene was so boring and drawn out I fell asleep. The casting was questionable-I didn't really understand the selection of Rosario Dawson as Roxanna (she's fine as an actress but wasn't she Eastern, even "Caucasian", not African). Also, Angelina Jolie's lack of aging for the ENTIRE film, and her Russian accent were terrible. I hated it. Its only value is as a film so bad that its worth seeing again to laugh at. So unless you get your jollies from other people's failure (like I do) avoid this film on video if you can.
