Bring your own wine for this cheese!

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2004)

Amazing! The potential this movie had for being a great one... yeah it could have been a Lord of the Rings meets Star Wars, instead, it turned out to be a Gladiator meets Titanic. This, oh so bad, movie has great actors that do great acting, unfortunately they can't find a dialogue to act with to save their lives. Totally devoid of character buildup or even a half decent plot (which you would think is easy with a story told a thousand times), this movie needs someone who knows how to write. The editing and soundtrack are ok as is the cinematography. But the lack of substance short of a love story with mucho violence is what makes this movie something to put a warning label on at the local rental place. Do not watch if you are allergic to corn. Such a pity to have one cliche after another hurled at you while watching the same old sword fight again and again.... didn't they learn anything from watching The Last Samurai or even Dragonheart? This movie fails miserably and it is mostly the writer's faults although some credit must go to the director and producer. I wept for the audience.
