Another lame movie

Rating: 4/10 (20 August 1999)

I must say that I'm tired of movies where 5 people (tired, exhausted and a little bit wounded) can defeat thousands of wild cannibals. Sure the landscapes are beautiful but who cares anymore there are hundreds of movies where landscapes are beautiful, that is so not a good reason to go see a movie. Mr Crichton may be a good writer but he is definitely not a good scenarist on this one, the story is reduced to the minimum you can find (even cube has a more consistent scenario).
And seriously... do we really still need a love story ??? I mean we get it, he is strong, he is a gentleman (although I'm not sure the concept of gentleman existed in the 10th century), he is tough but human, he is handsome and he's gonna make it at the end but we don't need to be reassured of his virility in a 2 minutes scene !!!!
