Eyes Glazed Open....
...I seldom dislike things and if I do I seldom feel compelled to speak on my dislike here in Friends and Favorites. I did not like this because after the big build up after the Oscars, it led me to believe that this was gonna be more. The graphics and the recreation of the Area and those firght scenes were alright, but the story line I found kinda boring....not too different from those B Gladiator Movies from the 50s and 60s starring Victor Mature or Chuck Connors. I am one of the few people on earth who is unimpressed with Russell Crowe, he of the same pompousness that created Richard Burton--you never saw Burton in a comedy and you never will see Crowe in one because each takes/took himself waaaaay too seriously. Case in point, this product. My wife paid for the tickets so I was forced to keep my eyes...
