one of films about nothing. or only a bad joke, cocktail of popular culture, action scenes, American army and a character who lost his status for become a form of garbage for flies. so, it is not easy to define it. sure, it is only an example of films empty of sense, near hard core pornography, who propose only a kind of terror, using a historical character for a crazy game with different crap details. but , in fact, this is far to be a mistake. each film has its public and the target of this film is so precise than each stone becomes mud ball. and this does it useful. for discover its fans profile. for amusing and lost the patience. for be horrified. or for ignore the film and remain in the refuge of yours thoughts. so, Attila. or, more exactly, an awful portrait of him as pretext for blood, terror and great American soldier in cheep package.

a bad movie ? not exactly. only awful. small ordinaries tricks, blood and fake history's use. and a film about nothing with ambition to became a series. absurd, illogical but useful like each bad movie for a strange form of fun who has not the status of irony but only surprise. it is not original, only clone of clone of clones of many stupid movies who are not sense, not script, not actors and represents just a small place near hard pornography. because the source, maybe the purpose are the same. only problem after its end is the choice of Hun leader. which is his huge sin for be victim of this form of cultural garbage ? so, only mercy for the poor Attila saves the film for few days after the meeting. but it is far to save it in real sense.

Nope. That's all that should have been said when the idea for this movie was pitched. It is beyond terrible. I only finished it because I was watching it with a friend. We kept laughing and thinking it must get better at some point but again, nope. If you like horrible movies this could be for you but I doubt it even then. I haven't actually watched "Birdemic" but i can't see how it could honestly be worse than this. I actually made this account just to warn people about this filth. The plot make no sense at all, the continuity problems are the only consistent thing, and the action scenes are ridiculous. The acting is worse than that of an "actual doctor" for an infomercial. Small spoiler... if you do watch it, the villain will be your favorite character because he never actually speaks. All in all, don't watch it sober at least...

Attila from the get go was always going to be a movie to not take seriously, and despite The Asylum having a mostly terrible track record Attila also deserved a fair chance. If the execution was at least passable it could have been fun. Unfortunately Attila was too inept that it was not easy at all to enjoy it, one of those movies where you have to look long and heard to detect a redeeming value. Attila is a low-budget movie but also an example of one where visually no real effort seems to have been made. It is very choppily edited and the special effects look rushed and look 10-15 years at least out of date. The music is too obtrusive, is not sympathetic to what's happening and it sounds generic too, while the sound is on the muddied side. When the music wasn't drowning out the dialogue, it was really painful to hear how mind-numbingly, inanely corny it sounded and also how it makes no attempt to develop the characters or make the story or the goings on understandable. The story was a ridiculous one to start with but it is told so messily that it comes across often as incoherent, it's also rather dull with the tension and fun levels next to nil. The characters are little more than stereotypical ciphers, and there was no point in calling the villain Attila the Hun, because the villain here is the complete opposite to what Attila stood for. For all we know, he could have been any low-budget creature, acting like a zombie and looking like a mummy, and to make things worse he exudes no personality or sense or threat, completely forgettable. The acting in Attila is not good at all, in fact it's laughably bad. Steve Hanks is the best actor in the movie and he still overeggs the pudding, and Chris Conrad when we are eventually introduced to him has the opposite problem in that he's wooden and plays it far too straight. Lastly, the fight scenes and stunts are very repetitive, tiredly choreographed and clumsily edited. Summing things up Attila is an ineptly terrible movie all round, one to see once and forget. 1/10 Bethany Cox
