A VERY weak version of Braveheart

Rating: 1/10 (30 August 1999)

Are you people kidding me!?!?!?!? i didn't pay to see this movie and i STILL thought it was bad!! i was amazed to see its average at 6.7!!! i thought giving it a 6 would be generous!! this movie is all in all WEAK. the love story went nowhere (i've been more affectionate with just friends), the intro of y antonio is exiled should be elaborated....crikey! let me catch my breath. ok, the kings son has no place in this story. they make it seem like he's gonna be this problem (they went as far makin a fight scene where one of the warriors kills one of his men) but he has no place in the story after the intial arguments!! geez, if they needed to take up screen time they could've told more about the love interest, or maybe antonio's motivation for the mission. i mean really, some witch says "the last warrior has to be a foreigner" so antonio goes along with an "oh well, i guess thats me" attitude. what does he care to save a village he has absolutely no affiliation with (or even heard of)!?!?!? he was picked out of the hat and we're supposed to beleive he's fighting with as much passion as william wallace does for his country??? and thats another thing, in the begining we're told he's this preppy, manicurist pretty boy who doesn't know how to fight. there's a scene where he's trying to sharpen wood with his sword and he can't even take a swing without falling over. but then a few min later when he polishes his sword into an arabian crescent blade, he becomes jet li's master with a weapon!! *takes a drink of water* Not to mention the weak showdowns of this flick. One warrior kills the mother witch (who fights with a 3 inch bone in her hand) in like 20 sec., and amid a battle scene, the same warrior simply knocks the leader off his horse and stabs him, and thats it!!! how unclimactic!!!!!! man, i for one have very low standards, so u know when i say a movie is bad, it very bad. anyone who says this one is good, already had posters of antonio all over their ceiling.
