Sometimes movies, based on titles alone get unjustified reviews, this clearly isn't one of them.
A hackneyed script, jolted, terrible actors, who clearly didn't attempt to put a serious professional attitude to their roles.
Even a fine actor Jeremy Irons, did not buy into this, it is clearly so over the top horrible, it would be fun if it wasn't supposed to be a serious attempt at a fantasy movie.
How, or why this treatment was allowed to continue after a week and wasn't totally abolished and re-cast, re-director-ed, is beyond me.
I originally saw this movie in the theaters, and sometimes after time, re-watching changes impressions, this clearly did not, a review after so much time, confirmed my early memories of this move.
Its just terrible, it is no where even in the top ten of all time fantasy movies, even before some of the more serious recent and more modern works have come out.
The one saving grace, was this early on CGI effects, did not look that horrendous, but it didn't even have that much of it.
You should have a fine balance between the two, which this movie "could" have had, if the actors and script were not just so horrible.
