Review of Minotaur

Minotaur (2006)
2/10
Interesting Idea Wasted by lack of argument and idiocy

I do like movies based on Greek myths. However, this is a really bad movie. Apart from the beautiful maymie McCoy, the presence of Rutger Hauer and the interesting first five minutes of the movie, it is all really bad.

1. Minoans were not African, but white-Caucasian. 2. It is grotesque to see the bad guy inhaling some kind of drug from a bull-skull like a crack addict from the Bronx. 3. The actors are awful 4. The movie lacks a convincing story, and it has extremely poor dialogs and an even poorer script.

While the special effects are not too bad and there is the occasional pretty woman, the movie is really awful. If you have read a bit of mythology, the movie makes you puke, as it is designed for a really mediocre audience.

However, i suppose that you may enjoy the movie in the following cases:

1. If you are drunk 2. If you are taking hallucinogenic substances on a regular basis 3. If you have a good hangover and are basically sleepy 4. If you suffer from insomnia 5. If you are between 6-10 years old and have a lot of free time.

In any other case, a normal adult person wouldn't like the movie.
