Very fun, if a little contrived and pretty predictable. Captured the wonder I felt when watching movies as a kid.

Shockingly bad. Characters are wooden, humorless tropes, largely devoid of compelling arcs. The parts of the plot that are not wholesale recycled don't make any sense. Even the action sequences felt like cheesy imitations of eastern martial arts cinema (which I can generally appreciate, even if I'm not terribly fond of the genre). Visuals are generally good (though variously borderline ostentatious), but then, $30 should get you more than a screen saver.

mediocre political fantasy
