Pretty good

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2004)

Not quite as good as I expected it to be but definetely worth seeing. However I've never been a big Brad Pitt fan and this film done nothing to change my opinion of him. I suppose his female fans would have enjoyed his performance though as he spends most of film with little clothes on, being male I found the massive battle scenes more appealing and they WERE massive and superbly shot. Eric Bana was really good and stole the picture and Orlando Bloom was as usual completely awful. Wolfgang Petersen is a great director and he does a fine job here, I give it 7/10, if you hasn't seen it and want some Summer thrills wait until it comes out on DVD and see the much more entertaining The Day After Tomorrow or Van Helsing instead.
