Vastly overrated.

Rating: 1/10 (29 December 2001)

I don't care if the book was good, not all books translate well into film. And this was one of them.
They removed the story, added more action and the movie was reduced to this: walking, action, walking, action, END.
The fact that this is the #1 movie (as of right now, this will definitly not last) on IMDb is nothing but a travesty. But hey, personally, I don't think the God Father deserved it either. The story is actually rather cliche. An all powering evil ring must be destroyed. I've heard that story before, and although it was cutting edge 70 years ago, it doesn't need to be presented to us now.
And as for the director, this is a man who made Dead Alive! How in God's name did he end up making this crap?
