(In my opinion) It was a big waste of money.
If you've seen the previews, you've seen all the action in the whole damn movie.
The rest is hollywood trash.
I personally almost threw up when the peasants started singing "we will rock you" because I went expecting a damn action movie. Instead I got a dramadey mixed with jousting.
There was some good music. Like "low rider" and "the boys are back in town". but they were not put in the movie well and seemed out of place.
YellowD, you are hilarious. That australian hunk is the only reason I went to see it too. After making my decision that it sucked, I joked with my female friends who saw it like this for what must have been a good couple of days. I'm sure it grew old for them after the second time.
The action really sucked.
At one point in the movie when the black night is looking ominously at Ledger from the shadows, plotting no doubt, I believe I may have said, "Do you think he's going to win?"
Please don't compare it to Gladiator which was one of the baddest movies ever.
