• Review: Maybe it was all the hype about this movie. Maybe it was the trailers that made this movie seem larger than life. Yet while the graphics were incredible, we see those state-of-the-art graphics in a lot of movies nowadays. Seeming to follow the success of Braveheart, this movies lacks the depth and quality storyline of its predecessor. Decent acting, but while many will disagree with me, I waited to rent this movie and was entertained, but disappointed considering all the hype and great press this movie received.
