Too formulated with terrible British voice-over, annoying leading actress

Rating: Null/10 (4 June 2010)

This film is just like other couple of dozen similar films with special effect, all of them including this new one are just too formulated. Since it's a British product, so the whole movie is with all the annoying thin British accents, male or female likewise. The CGI crated special effect is of course another similar format. Ancient Gods, mankind, the destiny, all depended on a dagger with time-sand. All the fighting scenes were performed and shot so closely that you just couldn't see clearly. But the worst letdown is the actress who played the princess. She's very annoying with quite plain features that absolutely opposed to all the praises in the movie, saying how beautiful she was. In this movie, she didn't like a Princess but a spoiled high school drop-out. God, all the Persians, tribes and bandits, speaking with the annoying pretentious British accent that almost drove me crazy during the viewing. Why the director couldn't make most of the players in this movie with certain accents of the middle east? And it would make the whole movie more believable and realistic. With everybody speaking like the tight-and-narrow lipped English people, this movie just didn't feel right. The close-up fighting scenes only showed that wide-angle fighting scenes simply couldn't be well managed by the director and the camera team.
