I feel kind of dirty by saying that it didn't look all that bad... but, it didn't look all that bad. Still, trailers have tricked me before.

I predict a 12% rating on RottenTomatoes for this masterpiece.

(That's higher than any of Uwe Boll's other movies by the way.)

Upvote for Statham!

I have a great question to ask...

How does Uwe Boll get the money to make one bad movie after another?

Seriously, he is one of the main reasons why Video Games Movies aren't good adaptations compared to other catagories such as books, other movies and even music...

^ It's one of the great mysteries of our time.

I personally think his boxing prowess intimidates film companies into giving him money for his excellent films.

I can't wait "The Minesweeper".

How does Uwe Boll get the money to make one bad movie after another?

He does it thanks to what pretty much amounts to a Producers-style tax scam. From Wikipedia:

Boll is able to acquire funding thanks to German tax laws that reward investments in film. The law allows investors in German-owned films to write off 100% of their investment as a tax deduction; it also allows them to invest borrowed money and write off any fees associated with the loan. The investor is then only required to pay taxes on the profits made by the movie; if the movie loses money, the investor gets a tax writeoff.

While Boll has received a lot of negative publicity regarding this funding method,[7] he was actually one of the few directors to use the tax shelter as intended. His films were financed, produced, and directed by a German company, which was the initial intention behind the tax shelter: to provide incentive for investment in German entertainment properties.

Watch it back again, but this time put this picture in your mind:

Statham plays a rough, tough london born hard-case. Sent back in time, he must put to use his knowledge of street-survival and thrash it out in this time-travel fantasy epic. Knowing he may never return to his own time and world, he battles his way to fit in with people who have far more hair than he does. Will this cheeky cockney get the wig of betrayal from the hands of gorgoth the almighty? Only time will tell.

I love Statham, but anything he does, he looks like a rough tough cockney born hardcase with some cool ninja moves. And why does he have no hair? Everyone has hair in there except him. Just look at him, he looks like he was plucked out of london and put in some rags and told to fight. I expect him to grab a cigarette and start looking cool at any moment.

The trouble I have with medieval style films is the American accents (I mean no offence). I mean, there were just never in history any of our fine friends from the West adorned in plate-mail and longswords. It just makes the suspension of disbelief a little rocky to ride on.
