And he abandoned all his tricks for the fountain but, oops, forgot to actually say anything. He might have got away with it if he'd ended the film 20 minutes earlier but he had to tack on some dubious buddhist imagery (bald, future Jackman in the lotus position, palms faced outwards...oh please!) to the whole mayan tree of life/Xibalba shtick which made the whole thing look very silly ideed. Utter, utter guff.
