Q: "
the 13th warrior " comes at the end of as summer where we 've already experienced man eating sharks ( " deep blue sea " ) , man eating crocodiles ( " lake placid " ) and even a man hunting witch ( " the blair witch project " ) .
now , " the 13th warrior " presents a tribe of flesh eating men who believe that they are bears .
the story , if that 's what you want to call it , follows ahmed ibn fahdlan ( antonio banderas ) an arabian poet who falls in love with his king 's wife and is banished from his home land .
he then travels to the land of the vikings and becomes an ambassador to them .
eventually the vikings are called upon to protect the people of the village who are being hunted by the flesh eating men .
thirteen warriors are chosen to go on the mission , and as you guessed it , ahmed is chosen as the thirteenth .
he 's not a warrior , and at first not well accepted by the vikings , but as the movie advances he 'll have to prove himself both on and off the battlefield .
that 's basically the entire plot .
there is also a romantic subplot that has been so badly mishandled and , one assumes , drastically cut that you begin to wonder why the filmmakers did n't just edit out all of the scenes attaining to that part of the story .
instead they chose to leave just enough of those scenes in to annoy the viewer .
the film is basically non- stop action and when it pauses and tries to develop a story
it becomes a laughing stock .
the battle scenes , although well choreographed , are not involving and not the least bit exciting .
we do n't get to know any of the characters
and so we do n't care who lives and who dies .
the film , which wants to be beowolf , comes across more as a failed action - adventure story aspiring to epic proportions but not achieving it on any levels .
it was directed by john mctiernan who 's , " the thomas crown affair " is also playing in theaters currently .
and it 's not that mctiernan worked simultaneously on both films but that , " the 13th warrior " was placed on the shelf for so long with the studio just waiting for a time to dump it on audiences .
it belongs back on the shelf .

Q: ugh .
that about sums this movie up .
just , ugh .
the original godzilla movies are somewhat of a cult classic , and when reviewing the previous films , each film had a certain degree of intelligence .
and that was the reason they found such an enviable cult following ; in spite of bad special effects , horrible dubbing , and a man in a lizard suit , they maintained a certain degree of . . .
how to put this ? . . .
dignity ?
not quite the word i 'm looking for .
you understand , right ?
and in 50 years , godzilla has maintained that degree of ' whatever ' . leave it to america to screw the whole thing up .
> from the ' geniuses ' that brought us " independece day " , arguably the worst sci - fi movie of all time , to ruin whatever reputation godzilla had .
while they do bring us eye - popping special effects that will amaze you ,
they lost what was at the center of all the original godzilla movies -- a storyline .
summing up the movie is simple .
heck , i can do it in one sentence : giant lizard attacks a giant city and a bunch of nobodies stop it .
simple as that .
matthew broderick
stumbles over his lines , and it 's hard to picture hank azaria in any role besides his classic dog - walking character on the television show " mad about you " .
the dialogue seems to be improvized , almost as if there was no rehearsel done at all .
i can see the scene on the set right now .
"
all right !
we spent all of this money making big special effects , and we 've got ta get this movie out by summer
or it 's going to bomb in our faces .
so , you actors just say what ever comes to the top of your head , all right ?
make up something , m'kay ?
good .
roll film ! !
"
the special effects are enough to keep you interested through one viewing , and some of the cinemtography is well - done ( the scene with the black umbrellas comes to mind ) .
still , an hour into it , you will become antsy , wondering how long they can drag it out . and drag it out they do ! !
i have to laugh .
the slogan for the film is , " size does matter " .
i think they cut this too short .
it should read , " size does matter .
acting does not .

Q: with a team of 200 graphic artists and animators working on this first film production from game developer squaresoft 's square pictures , final fantasy , inspired by the top - selling game franchise , is visually awe - inspiring and groundbreaking .
no doubt , you have never seen anything like this film , and the hyperbolic fanfare surrounding its release is absolutely deserved .
but why does such a tremendous feat of eye candy have to be weighted down with a problematic story , wooden dialogue and generally uncharismatic voice acting ?
obviously , the primary goal of the film is to stun and amaze audiences with extremely sophisticated cgi .
everything you see in the film is rendered in great detail
: individual threads in the fabric , individual strands of hair swaying , wrinkles and pimples on skin , incredible water effects .
overall , the expressions and lip movements fairly accurately match the emotions and dialogue ; and the times when they do n't sync perfectly really stand out , since the animation is usually so dazzling .
but you wo n't spend much time dwelling on those gaffes -- as soon as you catch one ,
the next stellar monster or effect will have you muttering ,
" wow . . .
" like the series of games , final fantasy 's plot and characters have little to do with its predecessors , outside of being born from the same japanese mastermind , hironobu sakaguchi .
it 's the year 2065 , and humans are prisoners in caged cities of their own making that guard them from an outside world now overrun with deadly alien " phantoms .
" whenever a human comes in contact with the ghostly visitors , the often - invisible beings pass through the body and wrench out its soul ( for some unexplainable reason ) .
while many humans agree with a plan by monomaniacal general hein ( james woods ) to blast the aliens with a " zeus cannon , " dr .
aki
ross ( ming - na ) and dr .
sid ( donald sutherland ) plan to build a " wave " using eight collected " spirits " to counteract the phantoms and kill them off .
while the images serve the sci - fi aspect of the film well , the storytelling does n't .
it 's unfortunate , because the plot seems so intricately thought out
.
perhaps it was far too complex and enormous to be entirely incorporated into the script .
some could blame this weakness on the fact that it was a japanese concept translated to english , except two americans wrote the screenplay .
nevertheless , the end result is an elaborate story complicated by confusing holes .
why do these aliens feed on souls ?
if they can pass through bodies and ships , how can humans hurt them with guns ?
what is so special about the " spirits " that they would create a force strong enough to destroy the aliens ?
worse yet , the dialogue is scripted to be either like a science - heavy star trek episode , an installment of die hard , or a sappy love story , depending on who 's doing the talking .
for the most part , it 's bearable considering the genre , but tedious speeches and cheesy lines do n't do anything to help the actors and can get annoying in the longer scenes .
the only exception is steve buscemi as pilot neil fleming , who always has great cracks during tense moments .
but , when the lights come up and the credits roll , you 're more likely to be remarking on how fantastic the film looked
.
there 's no question that the roughly 33 million people who have bought at least one final fantasy game will be eager to see this movie , and so should anyone who enjoys being floored by the best cg animation ever put to film
.
you 'd be living in a fantasy world of your own if you expected much more .
