Great effects but wait for to rent.

Rating: 4/10 (6 April 2010)

Being a fan of the original movie I was thrilled to see the trailer on TV and went to see it with my father the next day it was in theaters.
The effects were wonderfully done, especially Pegasus. I didn't like the horse being black though. I know now a days black is the new heroic white but growing up I always remember seeing the white horse swoop down to take his drink and that ruined it for me.
Also the downside was, that they really changed too much from the original. Things were taken out that I often cherished in the original like how Calubus put a curse on Agost and the Princess. The two headed dog, and the Vulture chase.
When Bubo the owl had a cameo in the 2010 movie. I was also sadden he was not used in the movie. The movie ended as they are thinking of making a sequel but I don't think I will rush to the movies to see it.
I recommend this movie for people that have not seen the 1981 original. It has great effects and a fun movie on those terms but for die hard fans it might be better to rent this later..
