Very badly told story, childish twists

Rating: 1/10 (19 August 2010)

I've seen The Clash of the titans and I thought that was a bad movie, but this one takes the victory! I did't like the beginning, it reminded me of the beginning of some childish very bad fairytale. Jake as Dastan (not a good choice) as some punk kid who is ''playing in the sand'' and than showing us that he is more than that...in a Hollywood kind of way. The cast of other actors gave me the answer who is who just after 15min...Richard Coyle is not the one who suppose to be serious lead character, I was always holding not to laugh when he was having his 5 minutes (Coupling was the reason) and Ben Kingsley was the only one who was there because the third brother (yes, I can't remember the name of his character) was not remotely relevant - his character is like the one in bad teenage horror movie who dies first. Next...the story is severely poor, almost offending not to mention the relationship between Tamina and Dastan. Action sequence are weird with accent on very small details and not on whole action scene, sometimes they cut one part and continue from another angle without the end of the scene before (you have to see to understand)... Basically, one of those movies that you'll soon forget and after couple of days you would not remember no matter how hard you try. Too bad...
