Such a disappointment

mikefrei

I had hoped this would be a fun, escapist popcorn movie but it was not to be. You can't fault any of the actors, I'm sure they all saw some potential and the budget was obviously fat. The score, effects, set and costume were all spot on. There may actually be a decent story under this mess but I couldn't even make it half way through the film.

What this movie is about has more to do with someone who really wanted to make a movie that had deep pockets but no understanding of story telling or continuity. The film fails spectacularly somewhere in the mix of writing, editing and direction. I suspect the film editors did what they could but the writer/directer combo falls miserably short. Such a waste of good actors and a budget. It should be required material for all film students on how not to make a movie.

score 2/10
