Catastrophically miscalculated casting aside, this Alex Proyas (he of I, Robot) flick could be slated simply for its attempts to take Exodus: Gods and Kings, throw in some Transformers CGI and hope that writing the title in gold would be enough to claw back some of the US$140 million spent on this cheese-fest. Its hard enough to convince yourself Gerard Butler isnt about to utter the immortal words welcoming watchers to Sparta, let alone distract yourself from Nikolaj Coster-Waldaus questionable leather eyepatch and the fact that this film uses more blue screen backdrops than Star Wars Episode II something few ever thought possible. Still, if youre a fan of shiny things, semi-robotic gods, beasts, demons and more prophetic proverbs than The Hunger Games, youll probably love it.
