The Colossus of Rhodes/罗德岛巨像/Il Colosso di Rodi

The first half of the movie is attractive: a story of justice in a tyranny. However, two points in the last half undermines the whole movie: 1, the transform of Diala the evil girl is too soon to be convincible; 2, it is kind of clumsy to solve the final contradiction by an earthquake. I mean, this is truly a story among different groups of people, however, the introduction of the earthquake makes the story to be some one between the nature and the human being, which makes it much more boring spontaneously, and the story is changed from "fights between the brutal king, the people, the ally and the foreign enemy" to "Thanks to God we are lucky enough to refrain from being invaded by an earthquake". What the hell.
