Review of Druids

Druids (2001)
5/10
Come off it, you gits! It's nowhere near that bad!

Vercingetorix is not a great movie; it has serious structural and scenographical problems, and the plot is plodding along with little tightness or coherence, and some of the characters are made up to look rather ridiculous (particularly the Teutons, sporting neon-red hair-buns over naked torsos, making them look rather like half-naked drag-queens). And then it goes on a bit too long, becoming quite boring towards the end.

But that's it. Other than this it's not an especially bad movie. The story is fairly straightforward and the production values are fair and seem to be reasonably historically accurate. Again, no masterpiece, but certainly an effort that lives up to the (rather poor) commercial standard of mainstream movie-making, hence deserving a rating of about 5 out of 10. But I guess this is another of the many movies rated only by people who do not understand anything in between 1 and 10... I really don't know what you people expected from this movie...
