Paying no respect to mythology and to the Hero's journey

Rating: 2/10 (15 April 2010)

How very unfortunate that this title pays no respect to mythology and to the archetypes involved :( The original myth has been devastated by the pretentious writers who are responsible for hubris to say the least. It is understandable to make alterations to the original myth for making a more attractive storyline for the audience, but changing the myth in such a way as to be barely recognizable is really an atrocity.
There is a reason why the hero has to go to the Underworld alone and there is a reason why the hero is moved by his love for a woman. An advice to the screenplay writers: If you have no idea about myths and myth-making, you can always ask a counselor from ethnographic or psychological studies. Putting all the mythological creatures that you have ever heard on the same story, won't work - except perhaps for CGIs.
By going off alone, the screenplay writers have made a big flop (probably not by money standards but by arts standards for sure).
