You mean the entire film was a load of crap. *grin* As a tale...it was OK. As a historical...load of crap.
But...nothing ticks me off faster than when even crap movies go the "Girl Power" route when there is no way it would have gone down that way *back then*. If either female would have started acting like a trained warrior...I would have yelled "Bullshit" and walked out. I find that (gratutious Girl Power) more insulting to women, as if we are so stupid, pathetic, and hard up that we would actually believe/accept that crap. Please. I'm just fine and have plenty of female role models, thankyouverymuch, and won't be relying on Hollywood for that.
As it was...it was a close deal anyway for me walking out. In fact...my husband grabbed my arm when the friggin pyramids came into sight. I think I did say "Bullshit" then.
