dire dross

Rating: 2/10 (1 December 2007)

Please only ever let me have dealings with the people that rated this film as utter codswallop, because anyone who starred it as half decent or above must be on a completely different planet. Without a sun. I gave it a 2 rather than a 1 on account of the special effects, which looked quite good, but to what end? Films like this make civilization seem so pointless. You'd get more out of staring at a cave painting. I'd have enjoyed it more if Sean Bean had stuck with his native Yorkshire accent and told us "Eeh, by gum, there's nowt so queer as folk". Or as bad actors, with bad scripts. I'm almost tempted to take back that extra point for fear of misleading anyone into thinking that the effects alone make the film worthy of a viewing.
