Slo-Mo Agony
I watched this one at home on video. The box it came in should have had a strong warning. I'm not talking about the film's graphic violence but rather the caveat should have read, BE ADVISED: TYPICALLY OVERBLOWN HOLLYWOOD EPIC.
There was so much slow motion in this film that if director Roland Emmerich had shot the scenes in real time, it would have ran (mercifully) about 12 minutes instead of its unbearable 165 minutes.
Adding to the agony was Mel Gibson displaying his usual unusual bug-eyed style of "acting."
If only I had known beforehand that the director was the same guy who gave us such garbage as "Universal Soldier" (1/10), Independence Day (3/10), and Godzilla (2/10), I could have saved a few bucks and spared myself this excruciating experience.
Rating 2/10
