5.6. This film is a glorious mess of pretty much everything imaginable. Originally the leading men behind Hercules had another project (Treasure Planet) in mind, but they had to settle on this for business reasons. The end result turned out to be a musical parody of superhero films and dumb celebrity culture with art design by Gerald Scarfe from Pink Floyd: The Wall. There's direct references to likes of Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan, who were worshipped like gods back in the day. I honestly miss the time Disney still used to experiment with actual visual design instead of just recycling all their character models like they do nowadays.

5.6. The art and sound design, characters and the humor of this film are great, but the narrative sucks hard. The very first scene they just throw this whole thing at you and there's literally no mystery or excitement in the whole thing until the last 20 minutes. The story itself is full of massive plotholes and goofs that don't make any sense, like there just happens to be a massive navy ready to go to some expedition, the Atlanteans can just talk and understand any language they want etc.

4.6. A classic of political philosophy. This was a third time I read this thing, I still got much out of it.

31.5. A very high quality and up to date biography with little to no filler. This might be the best of its kind today.

27.5. Gore Verbinski's best film, easily. The man has a great sense of visual style, but the live-action antics clearly keep him down from blossoming. Here the man truly shines, despite being all cgi there's a lot of genuine personality and the timing is almost perfect throughout. The man truly deserved his Oscar.
