what's so good?

Rating: 1/10 (22 November 2005)

I just shelled out my eight dollars or so to see this film. A friend wanted to see it and now I know why she wanted me to pay. I wish someone had payed me instead. I found this film simply boring. So much so that I almost fell asleep. It is too long and uses the Hollywood standard of using special effects to cover the fact that there is no story. It is about teenagers who do not look like teens and magic. I guess I can see why kids or kid-like adults would like this film. Sorry to be negative, but there just is not anything there. For Harry Potter fans this film may hit the mark; otherwise find something else. Even an old Hammer film is better.
