I dunno how old is Dolash?

I was planning on seeing it some time. I haven't yet though.

I saw it, and I thought it was a very good film.

The action is impressive and exciting, and the plot is filled with the human story of friendship. Some of the best acting is delivered by the kid playing the one who gets his arm amputated.

Admittedly, it is another Russel Crowe action movie in the vein of Gladiator, with that whole male comradery thing thrown in. You need a penis to appreciate this movie, no doubt about it. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. Dare I remind the world that there is a HUGE market for movies that only women can appreciate, but no one gets pissy about those.

In the end, it wasn't an exercise in chauvinism, just testosterone-soaked action. Which means it's all okay.

May I just ask if it brings something new to the genre? I am huge boat" fan and usually see every movie with any ships in it.

How does the story carry itself? I might see it next week.

Hey, I'm above thirteen... But my parents say I cannot tell you exactly.

Anyways, the story carries itself rather well. Plenty of action and definetly suspense (Well, the action-suspense, like "Should we fire yet?" or Will we catch them?") and it continuously makes progress in the story, very few little tangents going off in unnessecary directions.
