Fantastic to have an explanation of all the ranks in the harem.
Women who wed for the event and not the other person.
The Good: Lots to look at. Beautiful people, beautiful clothes, beautiful scenery. The design in general. All these actors are good actors shame they didn't have much to work with.
The Bad: This was a pretty mediocre action film. Cinematography wasn't the best. Very superficial plot/ dialogue/ everything.
The Ugly: How much CGI do you think we can fit in a single scene?
It was alright, nothing spectacular. I did find the heavy handed use of CGI a bit much. The butchering of ancient mythology I overlooked by convincing myself this was more sci-fi than fantasy.
Stunning imagery, narrative is average, but its FREE on YouTube ---> https://youtu.be/jqxENMKaeCU
The songs make this series.
One of the most well choreographed and directed battles in all of cinema.
Worth it for the phrase magical forklift operator.
Cinematography and soundtrack are the only winners in this film. Performances are wooden and the two leads have no chemistry for a romance. You can tell when the director has given Dakota a particular instruction because it's so obvious and clunky, it makes it impossible to connect to the character. Jamie Dornan comes across as genuinely creepy so he's done well on that score. This could have easily become a horror or a comedy but instead it's just boring in the extreme.
