Rock was fine, but sadly Selznick ruined what might have been a truly great epic by casting his overage wife as the love interest. Jones was a poor actress and she was not at all believable playing a British nurse. She should have at least made a slight attempt at an accent. The film goes on for far too long and was too overblown for a trifling love story.
It is no surprise that Jones did very little after this film had flopped at the box office and received such terrible reviews. Rock would soon recover however as he moved into comedies.
The gigantic battle scenes are impressive, but too brief. Sadly they are not enough to save this flop.
