Over-hyped, Boring Steaming Pile

Rating: 1/10 (23 December 2004)

What a piece of crap snooze fest. I know we're jumping over cultural borderlines here, but what do people see in this movie? OK...the scenery is nice, but the plot is sort've detached, and the action unbelievable. Movies like Hero and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon will be collecting dust as forgotten an unmemoroble movies in a few years for the same reason as Greek myth movies. When's the last time you saw a movie with Zeus? When's the last time you bought a movie with Apollo? The suspension of disbelief in these movies are way to great and the cultural appeal buried by the sands of time. I appreciate honest movies, not mythological, nationalistic creations that bore. See it at your peril, but don't say I didn't warn you.
