Too long as a movie but facing the challenge of pleasing the book's fans, Columbus did about as well as he could

Rating: 6/10 (19 November 2001)

The movie faced some incredible challenges because of the big number of long-time fans who wanted a direct translation. It must stand alone as a movie and with that in mind it does have some flaws - specificly some of the CGI effects and the length of the movie. Still, this is a fun flick.
