I loved 300 and all that heroic SIN CITY-type graphic madness, live action on the fringes of animation. Also I love a lethal female lead hell bent on dealing out justice. So I had high hopes. Man, was I disappointed? This is incredibly lazy filmmaking. There are NO characters - just pretty or ugly puppets - cliched puppets at that. There is NO story - seriously, none. There's a set up but it doesn't go anywhere. This is just a repetitive series of vaguely related vignettes. And so many cliches. Worst of all, is the waste of talent and budget - it LOOKS GREAT, fantastic CGI (hence my generous 3/10 rating) and the performances are fine considering there's nothing here for an actor to work with. Probably would've loved it in 1975 as a 14 year old sack of hetero-hormones. But - when was it made? There's really no excuse. Frustratingly awful.
