Daft

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 2004)

I feel compelled to write to fellow IMDb.com users and tell them that if they have got half a brain cell, then they should avoid seeing this terrible, simplistic film. It has all the hallmarks of an epic (stellar cast, mega-bucks thrown at it, superb locations) but frankly, it fails to engage the viewer on any level.(unless you're a 12 year old girl drooling over Brad, Orland or Eric) Yes, the locations are lovely and the computer imaging spot-on but all of this is insignificant if there is nothing to absorb the viewer. I found the music overbearing and intrusive but most of all, it's the appalling script that floored me. It's just plain daft - full of witless pronouncements that scream their way to such obvious developments, that even scriptwriters of soaps would be ashamed. I lost count how many times I screamed out "Oh Please!" Rubbish!
