Really? Just Really?

Rating: 1/10 (13 April 2012)

well what is there to say, this film has annoyed me so much that I am writing my first ever review on a film. I am just shocked and what could potentially have been a good film has turned into.
when I first read the the description I was skeptical of a fantasy adventure based on a girl in a mental institution and her imaginary world this normally means that the director has taken the liberty of doing what he wants with no care for anything else. but I thought I would give it a watch. For the first 5 minutes i took a step back and thought this might be a good film with the chilling song 'sweet dreams' being played as a tormented girl deals with her mothers death and takes on her abusive step father with a gun resulting in her being placed in a mental institution and in need of a way out before she is lobotomized. but that is as good as it gets.
we then enter the fantasy world of 'Baby Doll' a dancer stuck in a mens club trying to find freedom. then from that we enter a second fantasy world of war and destruction including: Robots, Nazi Zombies, Dragons, knights and god only knows what else. As soon as I saw this I knew my fears had been confirmed the director has just put anything and everything into this film to try and make it a hit, and it hasn't worked. By all means some of the CGI is good and some scenes have been shot well but it just doesn't matter because it has already been ruined.
I feel that had the film continued on from the first 5 minutes (which was brilliantly filmed and hit all the right notes) in a state of reality with an innocent girl trying to break free from this hideous place where she was going to be kept prisoner and doomed by her step father who had bribed the DR so that the truth about his abuse never came out, then this film could have been a massive thriller/horror hit up there with 'the ring'. but greed obviously go the better of the creators who wanted big action fight scenes that in this day and age as far as i am concerned are a thing of the past.
Don't bother to watch this pick and mix shambles of a film, your better off watching the drunks come out of a pub on a Saturday night.
