boys' film / bad computer graphics - what a disappointment

Rating: 2/10 (2 June 2000)

I was really looking forward to seeing this film, but it was so badly made!
The plot was minimal, the computer effects were very unconvincing, and some of the acting was sub-Eastenders standard (Joaquin "my little busy bee" Phoenix).
Saying that, Russell Crowe & the late Oliver Reed were both very good - shame they didn't have one of Shakespeare's Roman plays to get their teeth into - if you want violence with a good plot, try Titus Andronicus.
The cinematographic equivalent of a Chelsea match - just a boys film, and not a very good one at that.
