	I am watching this movie now and it looks very much like a Lord of the Rings wannabe that cannot live up to its predecessor. There are quite a number of inconsistencies with remarks about God, and another about gods, and the movie delves a lot into the topic of magic as well.

There are quite a number of inconsistencies with remarks about God, and another about gods, and the movie delves a lot into the topic of magic as well. There are Krugs (the beasts), amazons who live on trees and move like Cirque du Sileil acrobats, and ninja-like warriors. I haven't been able to figure out what those tree-amazons are for either. There are battle scenes with strategies that are not convincing. And the pep talk before the battle is not very inspirational. The dialogue traipses between poetic and crude. It looks very much like a movie that doesn't know what it wants to be. I wonder if the book or game that this is based on is as confused as the movie is. I would give it a grade of C. (close)

	Until I read the review. Too bad as the actors involved are usually in a better class of project. Guess I'll not bother with it though, if I'm going to end up disappointed.

Prisons have been turned over to a monolithic Weyland Corporation, which sees jails full of thugs as an opportunity for televised sport. Adrenalized inmates, a global audience hungry for violence and a spectacular, enclosed arena come together to form the 'Death Race', the world's biggest, most brutal sporting event. Five-time NASCAR champion Jensen Ames is a man who has become an expert at survival. After eight years of hard time, he has only six weeks before reuniting with his family. But when Weyland demands a driver to headline the big game, Ames is forced to submit. Donning the costume of mythical rider Frankenstein, the racer becomes an instant crowd favorite, an unequaled sporting superstar. His face hidden by a metallic black mask, one convict will be put through a brutal three day challenge, with the trophy being the ultimate prize: freedom. The only catch is that he must survive a gauntlet of the most vicious criminals in this post-industrial wasteland to claim it. Driving a monster car outfitted with machine guns, flamethrowers and grenade launchers, Ames must now kill or be killed to win the most treacherous spectator sport on Earth: 'Death Race'. (close)

Step Brothers movie review

Some people may think Ferrell is just up to his old schtick, which I can see what they mean, but I love it. He was in his element with this movie, and it was much better than some of his other roles as of late.
