Realized that I had only rated this and not reviewed it, so watched it again (the "directors cut" this time) and was instantly reminded of just how beautifully shot this film is.
While it is not without it's flaws, it is very well done. And though the main premise of the stor...( read more)

A classic. A wild and absolutely breathtaking ride. As cool and as exciting as adventure gets. It's a masterpice, a briiliant combination of historical background, fantacy, horror, mystery and outstanding action sequences. A stylish, sexy, remarkable and mind-blowing adventure. A...( read more)

Gave this a re-watch for the Halloween season this year, hadn't seen it in several years.

Critic Reviews
Utterly preposterous but so full of enthusiasm and flashy style that it's entertaining anyway. full review
This new take on horror is more of the bloody same. full review
With this grisly popcorn movie, we're reminded of the heavy-handed contributions that some U.S. blockbusters are making to global culture. full review
I would be lying if I did not admit that this is all, in its absurd and overheated way, entertaining. full review
The perfect film for anyone who likes their headbutting and kickboxing dressed up in gold brocade, frilly collars, and tri-cornered caps. full review
