If this can review can possibly dissuade you from watching this film, I will have improved your life!
For every movie I have ever watched, up till this one, I have been able to find something I like about it.
I know I wouldn't make much of a movie critic - but I don't care. I set out to enjoy my film-watching, and find this easier by looking for the positive in films.
With this attitude, I started to watch this film. Manu Bennett, who plays Sinbad, was the lead. I have liked previous stuff of His, so I was definitely optimistic.
This film is awful. Why?
-> The actors put in no visible effort at all.
-> The camera-work and props were disgraceful, barely more than people running through forest/caves.
-> Female casting seems to have been decided on cup-size. This was so blatant that, even as a typical male, this annoyed me.
-> There is a "monster" in this film: I think it's two people inside a horse - no really.
-> The plot lacks continuity. Hardly any scene changes produce a cohesive whole.
-> Supernatural elements to this film are ludicrously far-fetched, badly-thought out in relation to any "plot" and generally bring the film down yet further.
If I stopped and thought for longer, other undesirables might come to mind. However, having typed this immediately after watching the film, I now wish to try and forget the experience ever happened.
