I went to see this film with my little bro, and I'm not really sure what I expected. What I didn't expect, however, was to see extremeley talented actors in this dreadful movie. Jeremy Irons, Marlon Wayons, both great talents cruelly wasted, and why Thora Birch chose this perfect example of how not to make a film as her follow up to the masterpiece that is "American Beauty" is a mystery.
The film, set in a medieval fantasy land, has no discernable plot line. The story seems to revolve around a young man searching for some kind of rod? (maybe), and a communist Empress, who believes all people should be equal. There is a wise cracking side kick (Marlon Wayons), who dies-how original. The rest of the characters have no reason for being there, at least none that I could figure out.
Yes, the special effects are very good, especially the scene where the dragons fight, and no doubt this film is aimed at a young audience. But young children will get bored during the long winded drivel that passes for dialogue, and older children will surely recognise all the films weak points (of which there are too many to list). The ending makes me think that maybe they forgot to film it, so unclear it is. This is not a film to be recomennded to any type of audience, and the producers need to realise that good special effects and a good looking cast do not a watchable film make.
