Two hours of my life I will never have back...

Rating: 1/10 (8 July 2008)

There are so many rotten and useless aspects of this movie, I don't know where to begin. The pedestrian acting responding to the hollow direction? I've heard the director said he intended to create a B movie. Well, this is not how it was billed. When exactly did he decide this? Isn't that convenient once your movie is decidedly a totally campy piece of trash? We were sold his first R rated flick- promising a comeback that never came back. That there is still money backing Shayamalan or that we are still a hopeful public isn't up for debate in my mind.
So many ridiculous moments come to mind, but if there is one that stands out in my mind: the impossible and utterly laughable segment in which the person's arm is ripped off in a lion's den after the repeated coaxing on the part of the person. After tapping one lion's nose, "hey, look here." he turns to the other, in case he missed that, and had the remaining one promptly ripped off! I'm sorry, that is that height of hilarity.
The best part? That this was communicated via video through someone's Iphone, as simply as "hey, look at what my sister sent me." Okay, first off, why was the sister not jamming her Iphone into her eye socket upon seeing this? And second, the Iphone is incapable of recording video(in the real world). What a cheap and shameless marketing ploy.
