No matter how much you polish a turd, it's still a turd

Rating: 1/10 (29 March 2011)

"No matter how much you polish a turd, it's still a turd." That's the phrase that kept running through my mind during this excruciatingly long and boring special effects house demo reel. The premise of transporting us to a fantasy world by telling us that you're transporting us to a fantasy world just did not work for me or any of the other grumbling people in the theater where I regrettably watched this film.I wish I could give Zack Snyder a pass, and just say he did his best with what was forced upon him, but the Snyder name showed up so much in the credits that it looked like a high school art film, so he must shoulder the entire blame for this debacle.It's no wonder that "Diary of a Wimp" was the top grossing film this week!
