An average movie

For many years, I have been defending Nicolas Cage, arguing that he was actually a very good actor. However, every movie coming out starring this guy is a new blow to his career and he makes it really hard to take his side... Only in 2011, he has made 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance', 'Trespass, 'Seeking Justice', 'Drive Angry' and this movie. So far, I have seen only this movie and 'Ghost Rider' and both are now on my top 10 worst movies of 2011 and I'm not really optimistic about the other three... Anyway, this time, Cage went for a medieval tale and the end-result was just pretty pathetic. Indeed, the story was just really pedestrian, the acting was not convincing and the special effects looked pretty cheap. Another laughable element were the dialogues. Indeed, half of them were modern and the other half was more faithful to the time period... At least, we have to give Nicolas Cage some credit for trying something else but I wish he paid more attention about the projects he took (Only in 2013, he might release no less than 8 movies so it doesn't sound really promising...). To conclude, it was just really weak movie and it is not really worth a look.
