Very bad acting. Very bad script. Very bad direction. What a let down. Gadot is as beautiful as she is the worst actress to hit the superheto firmament. Paid 30 bucks to syream this awful mess on xmas day. Ruined xmas or whatever was left of it after cpvid. A disappointing film for a disappointing year. Want my money back.

I cannot find one single thing to say in its favour. The script is derivatively atrocious and the direction is amateurish with no sense of story telling. Instead it finds inspiration by resorting to an avid appetite to rip off images from other movies. To add insult to injury, the acting is monumentally substandard compared to anything anything else on TV. The obvious myopic and failed attempt to imitate the same visual tapestry as 300 makes it painful to watch. And this only from the first episode. This has cost money, lots of it and it is obvious that more attention was paid to the visuals than content. A total and unmitigated waste. Will not be returning to this crap.

The script had promise. Any other praise for this movie has to come only from those involved in trying to sell this sad attempt at movie making. This must be one of the worst films I ever saw. The actors, at least the two that could act, floundered in mediocre sets, mediocre supporting cast and worse of all, a mediocre direction that could not be worse had it been directed by a blind director. There is no idea of pacing, composition, and anything else that could have led the actors to abandon their over acted hysterics and try to inject some believable interpretation to the characters. There were a couple of laughs but I think it was the result of embarrassment rather than genuine comedy. This film was shot in the island of Malta and in particular the old medieval city of Mdina. Well, they might as well have shot it on a back lot in Hampstead Heath. There was absolutely no feel for the imposing scenery that is there for the taking. I'll stop this review here for there is a lot more misery to mention and I have already lost too much effort on this movie. I'm just angry at having wasted money and time on this film. If you ever come across it on TV, RUN!
