Overrated and dumb!!!

Rating: 1/10 (3 May 2004)

(Spoilers herein) Ok I don't get the fuss, it just wasn't that good, maybe my expectations were high, or maybe it was so ridiculous a film. I hate being told why something is good; it's a bit like the emperors cloths, if it's amazing it's amazing and if it's not it's not and it's not. Please no lectures as to why this was a good film. Like with James Bond films, it's really for kids who can believe one guy/woman can overcome hoards of spies and villains alone. What are we being asked to believe here? The whole thing with lady assassins is silly, the fact they didn't kill her when it's their job is silly, the fight with 200 swordsmen is long and silly, and in fact the whole thing is silly, immensely silly stuff and not entertaining enough, some parts positively plod along... SOOOOOOO WHAT? It's overrated!!!
