Good potential, gone bad

Rating: 7/10 (4 March 2012)

I thought this movie had a chance to be great, but it just seemed too rushed to salvage any potential it actually had. The character development was shallow, you'd see characters die early without having any attachment to them. There were attempts at emotional relationships, but the father/son, lovers, protagonist/antagonist relations never really deepened. If they had spent more time developing the story and characters, than try to do an LOTR-esque scenic overview of mountains, valleys, hills, it would have been great. I would say that the dialogue was not bad, the narration was a very nice touch. I really wish they had spent more time on this movie...
