The is a lot of action - a lot of running and jumping and swordfighting - but nothing very clever or distinctive.Richard Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12397053921647421425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5929352816561809263.post-90732107374430380632010-06-02T20:09:58.597-04:002010-06-02T20:09:58.597-04:00I'm not gonna say this is really any better or...I'm not gonna say this is really any better or worse than The Mummy - I think it's pretty sad that those movies are held up as an example of a "good" action flick. Passable, perhaps, but nothing worth emulating.<br /><br />I put PoP in the same category. So long as it's seen as just a decent cash grab/way to kill 120 minutes, that's fine by me. It's neither terrible nor any good - a melange of so, so, so, many other movies, with really nothing memorable outside of Alfred Molina.<br /><br />"I thought it was supposed to cause an apocalypse. How is that supposed to make Nazim king?"<br /><br />My understanding is that Nazim didn't know about the real effects.Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5929352816561809263.post-3385625378895929732010-06-02T20:02:40.599-04:002010-06-02T20:02:40.599-04:00Well, thanks for the comment, Allison, and it is a...Well, thanks for the comment, Allison, and it is a shallow movie, and there are ample shots of Jake's goo goo eyes.

Not awed, but surprised. I chuckled a few times, I was creeped out for a minute by the head assassin and the snake, and I couldn't help gazing at the aptly named Gemma.
