Tedious,Tiresome....and far too long

Rating: 2/10 (13 August 2003)

I can't understand why so many people are raving about this film. To me it was just one long yawn. It conformed to a current style of film-making which sadly involves substituting boring stunts and ho-hum special effects (all of which have been seen countless times before)instead of a decent storyline and real atmosphere. This sort of treatment was fine during the 1980's when Indiana Jones and the like seemed fresh and fun but surely young cinemagoers are entitled to something more intelligent in 2003 - such as a plot that makes sense, straight acting and some semblance of historical accuracy. And another thing.. where on earth did Johnny Depp get that accent from? He sounded and looked like an inebriated Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones!
