Not good as an adaptation or as a stand alone film

Rating: 3/10 (27 April 2006)

It wasn't the worst movie in the world and I didn't want to return the DVD or sell it on ebay right after I'd seen it but it wasn't good. I blame the director, he hasn't got the chops for this. Much too much of this film was left out, even if you haven't read the books. There was NO character development and what was filmed turned out to be a jumble of a plot. It was not at all coherent. Nothing made sense and I don't feel that it moved the story along well. I'm just glad it's over and I hope the next director at least is aware of this story. I wonder if it wasn't a bad idea to change directors for every film, too many divergent visions. Not good at all.
