Talos is a very,very good movie.

Rating: Null/10 (3 December 1999)

STAR RATING:*****Unmissable.****Very Good.***Okay.**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead.*Avoid At All Costs.
When I think of these 2 films together,I get reminded of the story I once quoted in church about the rich kings coming to deposit all their golds and riches to baby Jesus and the beggar woman depositing merely a cloth ,and her being laughed at by all the rest.Then,his father Josepth said that that woman had given more than any of them put together,because they had'nt given all they had got,but she had given all she had.
Indeed,Talos was anything but great.But at least it had a playful sense of it's own awfulness.It had an original touch of invention in the storyline,and it was inventive in it's use of special effects as well.
This laughable mess is merely a case of sheer hollywood overbudgeting.On a personal note,and to anyone else out there under a similar impression,I've never been a big fan of Brendan Fraser.He is a wooden,irritating actor with an overbearing ego which really puts me off.Aside from that,I really do think he is a complete idiot who really gets on my nerves anyway.
On the special effects front,these were an unbelievable joke.They looked like models from T2 with carbonic acid poured over them.I laughed.And the charecters were terribly written.
An awful,plodding,never ending waste of time and money.*
