There is escapism with fantasy and then there are fantasies that just go into the realm of the ridiculous, this....is the second.
Pierce Brosnan was just not good in this, I literally found myself squinting at the screen at how bad he was. There are other actors involved that are good actors that do a decent job with what they are given, but truly...even with MY imagination, I just couldn't stomach this movie. I felt let down...badly, let down.
This story just never seemed to know what it wanted to be. The main lead female was just...lost, the story meandered, the acting was well...camp at best, with a few good characters thrown in here and there. But for the most part, I found the story fairly irredeemable.
The sad thing is, in the book the lead female character is quite strong, here she's...wishy-washy, and I hate wishy-washy.
I have no idea what took so long to release this movie, but I suspect there were people going "you spent how much on this piece of flaming **ap!?"
Again, there are actors within this that I like, but had Disney gotten ahold of it and done it well...it would have been so much better. Why? Because there would have actually been a decent story-line with direction.
