Soul-less

Rating: 4/10 (7 January 2015)

Have you ever watched a movie intro to a PC game?
Well imagine if it lasted over two hours. If you can't imagine that then see this movie. Because that's all you get.
Actually it feel like you get the same scene over and over and over again. A role gets introduced, some men yell through their teeth, then there is a ridiculous fight scene. All accompanied by a sound track which mostly consists of 'rumbles'.
The actors could swap roles at any time as there is sod-all difference between the acting or the portrayals and zero character development.
But technically it is excellent. It looks like an awful lot of care an attention has been put in to costumes, set designs and the computer animation (well except for the ram running up the castle wall; that was really cheap and cheesy). And that brings us back to why it is basically a computer game intro.
Take the kids to see it by all means; but go when you are tired so that you can have a long snooze.
