Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

mpeak23 Young men who haven't figured out who they are or how they are supposed to live should not tell stories. This silly movie teaches that it's better to run away when the going gets tough than to be brave and loyal and fight for your buddy, or family or whatever. It also teaches that if you are doing really stupid selfish things but you are special in some way, that you can continue to do really stupid selfish things and the good spirits will come help you anyway. It also teaches that when you are doing these really stupid selfish things and you go into the desert and you face difficulty and some really scary looking women in the distance that it's alright to throw a temper tantrum, and be really reckless with your stuff and the good spirits will reward you by coming and taking care of you anyway.I was quite annoyed by this movie because it doesn't teach anything worthwhile and instead teaches the exact opposite - that it's all quite random and pointless. That the decisions and choices we make don't really matter and that you fate is really out of your hands, so go ahead and be a dumb, selfish, petulant ass and it's all good. This movie teaches entitlement and rewards bad behavior. It's shocking to me that some young men who created this movie tried to take the trappings of a 'hero journey' and didn't get the substance of it AT ALL, put the ingredients in there, but COMPLETELY missed the point. Grrrrr

Lord Vukodlak Having quite an extensive collection of medieval and quasi-medieval movies, i was awed that a movie this good has escaped my attention. No, it is not a great movie but, it is what it is, a really, really good fantasy movie. The costumes were above average, compared to most of the drek that Hollywood has put out. (some of which were purported to be historical epics.) I was very impressed with the armor. The chainmail was real, as opposed to the "chainmail-ish fabric" that is so popular with most big budget movies. HEY Hollywood: if you have a "big budget", spend less on stars and their egos and more on costuming and voice coaching for actors that think just because they are Huge mega-stars that they can speak the way they do normally. This is fine if you are playing yourself, guys but, at least try to help me suspend disbelief.I would say that if you enjoy fantasy/medieval movies, and do not care whether or not it has a "big name star" in it, you will enjoy this movie.

James Dearing Thsi has to be one of the best movies I've seen in a while. Be warned, though - those of you used to Hollywood spoon-feeding you stories, incapable of chewing and swallowing them yourself, won't like this. There's a gray organ inside your head which apparently many movie viewers have forgotten how to use, assuming they ever knew in the first place. You have to use it to enjoy this movie. I think that's the reason that movies like this are not made by studios - they know that if you actually start using your brains, you'll get tired of the mass-produced you've-seen-one-you've-seen-them-all movies that they depend on selling and re-selling and even in some cases re-re-selling. Congrats and thanks to Warner Brothers for agreeing to take a risk and sell a good movie.This is one of the 2 movies I can think of that really show how good a movie can be, the other being Spirited Away.

lord_jeanquev Go watch the grass grow rather than watch this film its cheaper and you get about the same entertainment value. This film runs hour and five minutes but you would swear it was much much longer. Why? Because it seems or feels like anyways that 45 minutes of it is spent with the WEstender walking yes walking either by himself or gasp occasionally with an ally. Some people have talked about the great cinematography but that alone can not carry a film people. Are the backgrounds great yes but I don't need to see them as he treks through the forest through the desert for more than half the film. Spoiler Below By the time he catches up to the slavers gets his redemption so to speak and returns to help lead the armies you no longer care to be honest or at least I didn't. This film had so much more potential and it was ruined by the lack of directing more so than inexperienced acting. Bottom line is please don't waste your money on this one unless you enjoy watching someone walk and walk and walk (oh sorry he does run sometimes).
