I actually went to see this on the Fourth of July. I expected it to be terrible, but it was ok. It's a Disney flick so I was afraid that it would be sappy and have some singing and such, but there was none of that. It was an interesting twist on a familiar story.
Jolie was good, but the rest of the cast wasn't very impressive. They really should have someone better to play the king.
Not a great movie, but in a time when your only movie options are either Michael Bay PG13 explosion fests or reeruned comic book movies, this one was pretty decent. No great scenes, but no terrible ones either. A better director would have helped.
I also watched "Deliver Us From Evil" the same day. It sucked.
