Perhaps the most overrated movie of all time

Rating: 1/10 (26 February 2001)

I lump this film right up there with Titanic as the most overrated film of all times. You put a cheesy romantic love story in the middle of a medieval forest and stick a few funny one-liners in there, and suddenly you've got a classic? I don't buy it. I don't think this movie is terrible like I thought Titanic was, but I don't think it was all that great either. I actually found it rather boring, the special effects lame, and the love story unbelievable. But as usual, people buy into this kind of thing, especially teenage girls. I'm just thankful that there are people around with sense who don't buy into every bit of syrupy sappy love stories Hollywood serves up. I give the movie about a 6 out of 10. I might have given it a seven, but the fact that it is in the top 100 of all times made me feel otherwise. Watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail for some great comedy, but only watch this if you are drawn in by sappy syrupy love stories.
