What a shame this is. The first film is so gorgeous with it's metaphoric dialogue, bombastic soundtrack, and Nietzsche-isms throughout. Yet here they changed directors and added a PATHETIC excuse of an ensemble cast and the results are outright disastrous. Too much humor, too many beasts, not enough deranged characters who talk like unholy prophets. I guess they wanted to reach a wider audience. How sad. Robert E. Howard must be rolling over in his grave.
