What is going on with these movies?

Rating: 5/10 (18 November 2005)

Meh, these movies just don't do it for me, nor the older kids I took to see it. I sure have tried and wanted to like them, each and every time. But one viewing and I'm barely staying awake. I mean there are a few cute scenes here and there but nothing terribly outstanding. Nobody will look back in 50 years and say "wow that was excellent writing and film-making" unlike Lord Of The Rings trilogy or the early Star Wars movies. But just my opinion, and a few I went with. For the young kids though, probably a good time I'm sure. Just too scattered, rushed at times and slow at others. Pacing is off for sure. Overrated reading, and Definitely overrated films I think. Could of used a 20+ minute time cut for pace reasons as well. But it's all a matter of opinion. Peace 'n chicken grease.
