No stars should be granted to this poor excuse for entertainment. This is the worst movie I have seen in years! The dialog is inane; the plot is ridiculous. The special effects are completely predictable and absolutely silly. I cannot imagine anyone with half a brain finding it entertaining at all. If I hadn't been invited to go by some friends, I would have walked out after the first five minutes. My advice? Sitting at home twiddling one's thumbs would be far more productive than forcing oneself to endure this garbage. And, the money squandered on this could have been put to better use buying Lotto tickets (the poor man's retirement fund). Hollywood's adage is that movies released in January are nearly always bad, and this one was absolutely no exception to that rule. It doesn't deserve even a B--- rating. Nicholas Cage and Ron Perlman are probably praying that their participation in this disaster will be quickly forgotten and does not hamper their careers.
