Deafening, chaotic, and boring beyond belief this ridiculous mess has cured me of ever attempting to watch a so-called blockbuster action movie again. Everything is terrible. I supposed the effects are OK if you can see them through the distracting 3D. I have no clue what the plot is supposed to be about or who anybody is. I thought that Superman's Krypton mom would be the unintentionally funniest performance but that turned out to be Diane Lane. I can only imagine how boring it must have been to make, God knows it's boring to watch. Ugh.
Plus it cost $22.50.

Perhaps 'twee' is to Russian films what 'quirky' is to American. Either way it's a sickly confection that demands nothing from its audience other than it checks its brain at the door. One of the most narcissistically irritating heroines since the repulsive Amelie is able to do stuff for some reason. That the role is played by such an unappealing actress doesn't much help but it could have been Hepburn and it wouldn't have survived the director's insistent 'look at me' style and the archness that sucks out whatever life there might have been in the story leaving behind nothing but pretty-pretty photography.
This story was much better done in the 50s in Giraudoux's play Undine which, in fact, introduced Audrey Hepburn in the West End.

You all know the story: Hunks v Fags. Oh no sorry: Whites v Blacks. Oh no sorry Good v Muslims. This film could well come to define Bush 2. Its preposterous bloviating; its incompetent story-telling; and its lying about the past. Were the 300 a band of lovers? Men who fought beside their beloved so they would be more likely not to run? Many historians think so. And to see their story reduced to this jock-boy hard-on blood fantasy is truly repulsive. Hideous designs based on some comic book trash. The movie looks like a Colt porn flick minus the cum shots. It will come to be reviled in time as an exemplar of the terrible times in which we live when America has become the global villain, run by idiots for the profit of fools.
