Am I expecting too much?
Sure, it’s a dumb movie meant to sell popcorn. It has it’s good points. The special effects are pretty good, but anyone can do that these days. However…
1. In a movie about “Persia,” would it be possible to hire actors who at least look like they could pass as “Persian”? Though there are blue-eyed people from that part of Asia, I suspect they are in a minority.
2. I’m not expecting too much in the way of plot development, but does it have to feel like I’m watching a video game? Holy Legend of Zelda! The dialog was stilted and repititious.
3. I don’t want to feel like I’m watching shots from a studio even when I am. The opening battle scene nearly made the turn to so bad it’s good with its obviously-a-soundstage-meant-to-seem-bigger sequence.
