Despite all the cgi there is something distinctly creaky about this film. It just kept reminding me of the Hammer Studio historic films of the 60's that I watched on TV in the 70's. Throw in the beastie at the end, which moved like a Ray Harryhausen model, and there you have it - a thoroughly old fashioned (but not in a good way) film.
shareAre you saying you didn't enjoy the Hammer Films?
"You are tearing me apart, Lisa!"" The Room..a cinematic masterpiece.
Nope. I enjoyed most of them even though they often seemed low-budget and bit hammy. Actually it's been a while since I watched one and it would be interesting to see if they've acquired a patina of age that sometimes makes a film better. I have a theory that films roughly between 5 and 20 years old seem especially dated. After 20 years they slip beyond that window and you can appreciate them, or not, for what they are - either a good film or complete crap.
shareHaha...Agreed...I just have a special place in heart for crap like that.
