Fun and campy

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2004)

Certainly not an award winner. But it was great fun. Seemed to realize they shouldnt take themselves to seriously. I was campy yes but it seemes to me like that was kind of the point, made it seem more like an old monster movie. Bottom line, it was an enjoyable movie to go to with friends and still makes me giggle to think about it. David Wenham, as the comic relief friar was my favorite. (granted, anyone from LOTR is usualy the reason I go to movies anymore; dosent hurt that they are usualy in movies my taste) I was annoyed with the costuming though. Couldn't they have had something even vaguely referencing fashions of the time period. I mean I realize that they were trying to do the whole action hero thing but ususaly they atleast try and follow some part of the shilouete or something but this - nothing. Ah well I guess it added to the campiness.
