Extremely disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (19 May 2003)

After years of waiting, this film is a dismal let down. The effects are less than spectacular, the fight scenes are all the same and so long that they become boring. It's no more fun than watching someone else play a video game, though many games have more story. There are scenes, most notably the tribal orgy scene, that have no explained relationship to the story, and seem glaringly (gratuitously?) out of place. There is no character growth at all, and the ending is predictable, then just silly. In fact, the whole thing just seems like a 2+ hour advertisement for the video game.
