Clash of disappointments

Rating: 4/10 (1 August 2010)

I've seen the original movie couple of times as a kid, and I was very excited about this movie.
So the story is epic, the lead actor (Sam) is a really good choice, the English cast (Liam, Ralph & Pete) was great, Gemma was simply beautiful and visually this movie was excellent, but too bad the action scenes itself were confused, ranging from not enough exciting to boring and not even to mention predictable. But the real pain is that the characters were hollow and pointless, and their lines were just included to fill space between two special effects.
The director should have seen King Kong by Peter Jackson before doing this remake. My recommendations beside the perfect King Kong, are Beowulf and Outlander. Enjoy in those movies.
