No sir, too outdated to be any fun

I'll admit it here myself. I'm judging this based on today's standards and maybe that's a little unfair. But then again, it's not on me when a movie is not good enough to stand the test of time.

There's absolutely nothing likeable in or about this movie. And I'm generally more than charitable to movies that might not be to my preferences, but this one was just me looking at the clock hoping it's over soon.

I get the folklore behind it, but it just seems like such a waste of resources getting this made. Things happen... why? Who cares? It's folklore. What comes of it? Who cares? It's folklore. Is it in the very least enjoyable? Who cares? It's folklore.

Yea, I'd like to say it wasn't my cup of tea, but I felt like I was served an empty cup.
