I'd never seen this because I usually avoid overhyped stuff, but my hubby wanted to see it again so I watched and found it pretty lame, the effects are dated by now which can't be helped but the empty boring sets could've been much better, even in the 90's, acting is stiff and flat effortless fights, plus the story is thinner than water with added whirlpools that chunks of plot seem to have gotten lost in! All in all I found it severely lacking, mainly in story and depth, it could've been richer and darker, not worth the hype for me, whether back in 1999 or now.
