Perhaps epic in its day, this DVD re-issue comes across as dated and very lame.

The action sequences are run-of-the-mill, the special effects a joke, and the actors' performances leaden (like they all have jalapeño peppers up their butts!)

The film sports the very annoying, heavy-handed, over-melodramatic acting of old Hollywood movies.

The soundtrack is pompous and sucks! The camera-work is run-of-the-mill.

For a far-better film of a similar nature, watch "Troy" (2004) instead!!
