Not worth it

Rating: 3/10 (5 November 2000)

If you're thinking of seeing this movie, don't. I wish someone would have told me to avoid this movie. Even the battle scenes (which are the most impressive parts of the movie) are not good enough to justify the time I wasted watching this movie.
Much of what's wrong with this movie has already been mentioned in other comments, but here are my observations: The fight scenes were sped so fast that it reminded me of those cheesy B movies with car chases that are filmed going 30mph but sped up so it looks like they're really driving 60mph. The action ends up looking silly. Know what I mean?
Mel Gibson is generally a good actor. In terms of acting quality, he has a number of fine scenes in this movie as well, but he also has a number of really really bad scenes too. I don't understand why there is an inconsistency, just take my word for it.
