Overrated

Rating: 6/10 (12 December 2003)

When I was younger, and I saw this film for the first time, I thought it was pretty good, not great, but good. But having recently seen it again with a much more critical eye, I've noticed that its actually quite poor. The special effects didn't really hold up well, and the plot is pretty standard. The acting is laughable (I was literally laughing at some points). Perhaps, when it came out it represented something new and fresh, but time has not been kind to this movie, which does mean something, in my opinion. So, I give it a 6 out of 10, even though I'm inclined to give it a 1 because its score is awfully inflated.
