More than you'd expect

Rating: 6/10 (14 June 2019)

And I mean this in both ways - good and bad.
First the bad: It's way too long, that desert scene was really trash, some music choices were questionable to say the least.
But here comes the good: Jason Momoa rocks. Men on Sea Horses (sounds stupid, but works quite well). Dolph Lundgren! Some really great shots and the overall feeling of a beautifully cheesy fairy tale. And the best thing: This movie doesn't take itself more seriously than it should.
Sure - it could have been, no, SHOULD have been way shorter, and it would have made the movie much better, but if James Wan has proven anything with this flick it is that you can tell the most cheesy story for the thousandth time - and it will still work, if you tell it well.
I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would.
