not boring if you are under 12

Rating: 3/10 (20 November 2002)

This is definetly a children's movie. For children i think this movie deserves an solid "7". But as an "adult" movie, it is totally boring. The reason that it appeals to such a broad audience, including many adults is the fact that our society is getting very technological in nature. People are overwhelmed by everyday technology and scientific theories so that they are over "rationalised". Movies like The Lord of The Rings and Harry Potter present a world that is very opposite : Elves , Ghosts , witches , etc... It allows them to escape into a world where anything is possible , where everything is felt and nothing is rational. In a world where god is replaced by a theory , this is a human phenomenom. Many people do not want the truth , they rather have some imaginary symbolism.
Who said religion was opium for the people? He was right.
