Overbloated garbage

Rating: 1/10 (20 January 1999)

I don't really know or really even care why this film is considered such a classic. I figure if trash like Titanic is treasured so is Star Wars. It's pretty bad considering it's a remake of Akira Kurosawa's superior The Hidden Fortress. It pushes all the right buttons and tries to sound overdramatic.. When Obie Wankanobe loses, it is supposed to be some sort of holy moment. .I really didn't care.. This movie is not total garbage but just nowhere near the phenomena it deserves.. for me, at best it deserves 2 stars or a 4 out of 10
