Disney ruins a potentially good film.

Rating: 5/10 (26 May 2007)

I found this film extremely disappointing. It was all special effects and no story line. While some viewers may be impressed enough with the non stop action and sword fights, I hold onto the hope that there are still people like me who go to see a movie for a story. The ending of the movie seemed to be a failed attempt to make a week story line good. (Spoiler coming): Instead of the ending with Elizabeth and Will being together forever, there was a twist that Will is now immortal and Elizabeth is doomed to grow old and die. Well, at least until the fourth installment of the movie, where they will find the Fountain of Youth.
With all the money put into this movie and knowing it would be their best selling film of the year, Disney should have put a bit more cash into the story. The best actors and the best special effects are mediocre without a story.
