Spectacularly lame
16 August 2005
What a terrible excuse for a movie. Granted, it's meant to be a tongue in cheek comedy-adventure, but the comedy (which dominates the first half) is pretty heavy-handed, and the adventure parts, which take over the second half almost entirely, are pretty lame.

There are about 2.7 cheesy gasoline-fed explosions per minute, and Sharon Stone doesn't show very much of her body. The Turkish opportunist and the German general are broad (and bad) caricatures. The film's Israeli producers must have taken great delight in introducing a bumbling German army to the script, but it's all a bit childish.

The 1950 version was much better, and I hope to see the 1937 version soon. Do yourself a big favor and avoid this turkey.
