Easy on the eye

This was shown on the TV last week. Unusual movie, nice to look at, but predictable.

It's easy to call this movie absurd. Well, I suppose it is. But then, so is a plot about a bloke getting dressed up as a bat and fighting another bloke dressed up as a penguin. (Not that I'm drawing any kind of comparison with the Batman movies. But therein lies the inspiration, I think).
