Oh dear, what can I say... with movies / series that grab me, I have to stop myself from writing too much, but exactly the opposite happens with those that make it difficult for me.
For me, there was so much potential here (when reading the synopsis), and Benno Fürmann could have really been something. Not the big hit, I knew that, but a funny satire with good dialog and a few slapstick interludes would have been enough to make an entertaining film. I don't even want to talk about the look and effects. So many things could have been brought to the point better (there were one or two gags that worked). But it was dragged out so long that it loses itself in itself and that is a mixture of cheese, tedium, superficiality and dull humor. Too bad, too bad.
-------------- Bottom line: Weak.
