S for Snoretastic

Rating: 1/10 (3 April 2006)

While I'm a pretty middle of the road conservative, but I can successfully bash this movie with out even discussing it's ideological content.
The movie it's self is boring as hell. The action scenes are few and far between which is what this movie sells it's self on in the previews. I think the V dude has a total of 3 fight scenes, one where he saves the girl at the beginning, the second where he breaks into a movie station and then one at the very end. The filler is so bad I literally started nodding off in the movie theater.
The concentration camp scenes were totally uninspired, when you are given the opportunity to do a concentration camp scene in a movie it should be an easy ticket to make your audience cringe. Instead the people in the concentration camp all looked like well fed pretty white people. The makeup they used to make the prisoners of the camps look "abused" resembled scattered cold sours made of wax liberally stamped on the actors.
The villains were poorly done. The main villain, the grand chancellor, or what ever his name was, is supposed to resemble a Hitler figure. The character really didn't come off as anything but old and cranky, there was nothing even slightly intimidating about him or any of his henchmen. It seems like it wouldn't be too hard to create a more in-human villain for the Hitler figure. There was no steely gaze, there was no heartlessness about him, no intimidation factor. On top of the fact the character did a bad job as a cookie cutter Hitler figure, he had no originality to boot.
The worst part was the flash backs, while I like most males enjoy seeing women kiss, the carpet muncher flash backs put me to sleep. The story it's self was kind of a smoozathon with no original twist or turns, just your straight forward generic crap you can see on Lifetime Network for free all day long.
There were a few plot holes, such as when one of the protagonists made the comment that he found the images in the Koran beautiful when it's a known fact that the Koran it's self forbids any pictures of any character in the Bible or Koran. While there were plenty more, I don't think I could go any further into the plot holes with out discussing the movies ideology which I am trying to avoid so a more liberal person will not read my review and think I didn't like the movie because of the pro-everything liberal stance. The movie it's self is poo and not worth seeing.
