i consider this a missed oppertunity they could possibly have made a 'great film' the ingredients were all there.
a greedy nephew who 'plots' to steal the throne from his 'uncle' the king ( burt reynolds ) a 'scocerer' who is apparently willing to raise a army of 'mutants' to assist the nephew ( the scocerer i suspect has his own agenda )
'farmer' ( played by 'jason statham' ) who, with friends sets out to rescue his wife and avenge the death of his young son.
in the early part of the film 'farmer' is totally unaware that he is the son of the 'king' therefore the rightfull 'heir'
we also have 'tree' people, a band of warrior women who own and protect the forest as their 'land'
some great fight scenes from 'jason' as you might expect.
some of the battle scenes are also 'not bad'

as usual 'jason statham' does make it worth watching if but once.

If I say this film falls in the same category as Batman and Robin, Jaws 4 and the countless other movies that are blots on many distinguished CVs, then you may heed my warning and choose to spend your hard earned cash on something other than this.

After seeing this movie I had the feeling that I had just wasted 2 hours of my life that I will never get back. A harsh realisation.

A great cast, a tie in to a decent RPG and well choreographed and brutal fight scenes; the promise of a good movie was there. Jason Statham is gives a solid performance considering the poor script and naff direction, he delivers in the fight scenes looking every bit the sword master. Unfortunately, the bits in between the fight scenes, i.e. the plot, mean that the payoff is poor. At least on DVD you can fast forward through the bulk of the movie and just watch the battles - but do you want to shell out for a movie that you will want to skip through?

If you really must find a way of wasting 2 hours of your life, beating your head against a brick wall until you pass out is preferable to watching this.
