[QUOTE="Villano, post: 322167, member: 505"] [b]Gotta agree with the guy who said "Everything"[/b] This was a movie that just should not have been made. Nothing worked in it, from script to acting to direction. I wouldn't say it's as bad as Batman & Robin, but it sure comes close. It also suffered from IITS (It's In The Script). Things happen because the script says so, and not for any logical reason. The "No, he must do this alone" scene when Ridley goes into the castle (or whatever it was) by himself while the elf and dwarf stayed behind is an example of this. Why must he do it alone? IITS! Or the villain saving Snails from the carpet trap only to run around trying to kill him is another good one. What's the point of having a trap then? Or how about the maze of death which no one has been able to solve? A maze which is completely open to view of the public and consists solely of single turn. It wasn't a maze of death, it was a hallway of minor inconvenience! And the movie rip-offs, er, homages. Hey, look! Indiana Jones! Phantom Menace! Star Wars! And, finally, couldn't they hire a short actor to be the dwarf? I mean, the actor admitted in an interview that all he did was stoop lower when in a scene with other actors (which explains why sometimes he was shorter than everyone else, and sometimes he was the tallest person n the shot). Bad, bad movie.:( [/QUOTE]
