Just me or did Jeremy Irond look ALOT like Elric? The scene where he's first seen, startled me, I swore Guy Pearce had crossed into another film entirely!

I liked the kind of paradox in the film, that no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to save his fiance.

Totally not what the film-makers intended.
I was badly disappointed by the movie - not a patch on the George Pal / Rod Taylor original. What were they thinking with those piss-poor animatrionic morlocks!?Batman: It's a low neighborhood, full of rumpots. They're used to curious sights, which they attribute to alcoholic delusions.
Robin: Gosh, drink is sure a filthy thing, isn't it? I'd rather be dead than unable to trust my own eyes!

It's definiately not as good as the original. The Moorlocks running around in daylight was too unbelievable for me (I love that scene with the matches from the original). If they had of kept the Moorlocks in the dark then they could have at least partly hidden how crap they looked.
*For those who don't know, Richard O'Brien used to host a game show here in the UK called 'The Crystal Maze.' A team of contestants had to work their way through a sort of maze while solving puzzles to collect crystals. At the centre of the maze there was a large crystal (slightly more impressive than the D&D one).
When Richard O'Brien first appeared on the screen, there was a burst of laughter from somewhere in the cinema. It took the rest of us a few moments to figure out why.
