More bombs, less baloney

Rating: 1/10 (25 May 2001)

the trailers are *all* about the key sequence, which is the fight. Subjecting viewers to 2+ hours of baloney beforehand is just plain stupid. Playing hard to get only made me realise how sore my bum was after so many hours in the seat waiting for something to happen and praying that somewhere, anywhere, the $150m+ budget had left room to hire a screenwriter with some understanding of snappy and/or engaging dialog. Suckiest megaflop movie since Waterworld... or it should be.
