Worst movie that I have seen in a long while. No basis in mythology. The story line was virtually impossible to follow. All the characters looked alike. The costuming consisted of bizarre headdresses, the most bizarre worn by the high priestess and her gaggle of priestesses. Lots of clashing swords which I generally love and endless battle scenes, which would have been great if they had been easier to follow. Dark screens hid much of the action. This promised to be a great movie but the lack of alignment with mythology diminished its appeal for me. The actors were not given much to work with. Admittedly, I am not a fan of the "bring the graphic novel to life" genre, but it isn't the concept I dislike, but the like of clarity and vision that permeates the execution. It did have nice CGI but not worth the price of the movie - and I watched it for free and feel cheated.

I had looked forward to this movie. I love the fantasy genre and expect to make allowances for low budgets, B actors and short time frames production schedules. But I think this one could have been made better in somebody's basement.

The costumes were unacceptable. They looked contrived and inappropriate for their purpose.

The acting was horrible. The hero and heroine didn't appear to be in this movie. Their dialog was stilted. The delivery appeared uncomfortable. Part of this could be blamed on the direction, but maybe the director couldn't pull better performances from them. Hard to say.

The plot of this genre is often far-fetched and I don't have a problem using my own imagination to fill in the usual gaps. But this film had too many gaps for even the most vivid imagination to assist.

I feel sorry for anybody whose name was associated with this film. It will certainly not do their careers any good.
