He does not turn green though. And please excuse the pun, I mean whether you compare this with a superhero or a kaiju ... what's the difference? I'm kidding of course - neither is "true". The statue is supposed to be a god. And while the pacing issue is one thing to deal with (even at 90 minutes it may feel longer to some, fair point to make), it is many other things that are way more outdated.
Catching the stunt people beating themselves does not work in favor of the movie. What do I mean? There is one scene where people fight each other, one of the "good" guys jumps in front of some bad guys. One of them waits for the good guy to hit him I suppose ... that never happens, but he still does his choreographed stunt and throws himself to the ground without having been touched by the other dude ... not even a little bit.
If you can be forgiving of such things, you may relish in the special effects you get to see. For the time being those were quite good - shooting all in camera and with forced perspective, sets and all that.
But the real action (apart from some fights in between) comes at the end - can you stay interested for so long, for a story that is paper thin at best? Always be respectful - no pun intended.
