Pedestrian storytelling and clunky dialogue leaves this would-be epic drama about a power struggle between feuding kingdoms in soon-to-be-oil-rich 1920s Arabia bogged down in the sand

Black Gold feels like it could have been made in the 1950s; we have come to expect a little more from our blockbusters.

There's an enormous amount of perverse pleasure to be had here for those who get off on the annihilation of nuance.

Rating: 1/5 --
As poorly-conceived and shallow as any Hollywood 'epic' you will see this year, entirely devoid of any insight, tension or style.

The real problem is that Black Gold is rather dull, and much too long for comfort.

A far, far cry from "Lawrence of Arabia," but it has its diversions.
