Despite my vast repertoire of linguistic knowledge, I find myself utterly at a loss of words which would even come close to emphasizing for you the horrendousness that was this film. The acting, writing - everything - was horrible and childish; far worse than I would have expected from a series as renowned as this one. Thankfully, my knowledge of adventure movies - which is extensive in certain genres - is minimal. While I can instantaneously point out where a number of elements from this film came from (such as the army of cursed dead, from the third Lord of the Rings; or the 'living statues', which I first saw in Laura Croft), I unfortunately cannot tell you if those films to which if just referred were original in their usages of said occurrences. I am sure that, with further study, I could accurately learn of the first movie to make use of 'living statues', or of any of the other references to earlier films, though I would just as soon leave this film to be forgotten amongst the long list of others I have seen. If you want a less-than-mediocre adventure story with a fantastical plot. this is the film for you; if, perchance, you desire a picture worthy of your time - even if it be only one and three quarter hours - this most assuredly is not it.
