I rewatched this during the COVID Pandemic - it's scary how much of the movie resembles our current situations - not exactly of course - but what's scarier is how much easier it is today how one could see how things might progress in the real world to emulate this story.

Becomes cartoonishly goofy with its evil characters and suffers from overbearingly cloying dramatic force at times, but if that doesn't bother you it's a very stylish power fantasy wanna be epic morality film with a charismatic performance from Hugo Weaving.
