NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO ACT AT ALL!

I mean nobody! Except the Baldwin, who phones it in, but at least he doesn't have ridiculous cadences, a crappy accent, or sound surprised by his ridiculous lines.

Oh no, Stephen Baldwin can't act. He is terrible. This movie was ok but the acting made it bad. Well it could have been ok if they had decent acting.

The movie still would have been a load of crap. Sure the actors were horrible, but nobody could save those lines and that story. Stephen's an average actor, but acting next to all those goons made him seem like a genius. The interplay between Baldwin and undergarment faux-English bitch will go down in history with the likes of Abbott and Costello.

I like how varied their dialects are.

Medieval guy number 1: "What do you want us to do? Knock on their door and politely ask to come in?"

Medieval guy number 2: "Forsooth, my lord. We can do it. Huzzah!"

lol. wtf? It's like they got some guys from the modern era mixed in with some dudes performing at the renaissance faire.

And then that renaisskank totally lost her pathetic accent at the end of the movie. It was pure chaos.

Having watched it several times (against my will ;) ) I did get the impression that they were doing the weird schtick intentionally, trying to emulate the 'comedic' elements of "Army of Darkness". So everyone was intentionally over acting or acting wacky ... at least that's what I saw. Whether or not that was a good decision remains to be seen (and will never be known, hahaha) since the other elements of the film pulled it down in to abject crap status.....

Dr. Kila Marr was right. Kill the Crystalline Entity.
