Review of The Kingdom (2007) by Fantasy — 26 Sep 2007

I saw this movie at a sneak preview. If you saw the trailer you saw the movie as that was the highlight. This is nothing more than a made for TV movie despite the hype and the constant advertisements. It is paint by the numbers without any suspense.

The camera work is shoddy in that it is those annoying close ups with the camera moving so you don't know who is who during the combat scenes. The actors sleepwalk through their roles as it appears they are only there to pick up a paycheck.

As soon as you leave the theater this movie is forgotten. My advice is to wait for it to come out on DVD and rent it if you must. Even then you will turn it off quickly. Avoid.
