"The Eagle" is good enough to make one want to see a sequel ““ and that ain’t too bad.

With a cast of animated garden gnomes in a cheery 3D world of tacky backyard kitsch, the bard himself becomes accessible to a younger audience than ever before in this remarkably perky version of the famed tragedy.

3D action and the James Cameron name can’t save this poorly acted, poorly filmed and poorly timed tale of survival in an underwater cave system.

A restaurant worker gets hired into the service of a very wealthy family and quickly becomes part of the web that this mini-society has constructed. Great looking, but not much else.

From its confusing and undisciplined beginning to its mess of an ending, this Nicholas Cage flick results in some entertaining sequences coupled with a fair amount of confusion and several disappointed expectations.

Much like the relationships of its lead characters, "The Dilemma" is a hot mess you want to stop watching pretty much from the get-go.
