I don't get it...

Rating: 1/10 (23 November 2003)

Why all the glowing comments? This is one lame movie. Haven't we seen these types of special effects enough already? The acting was lame. The story was lame. The pace was slow. The scenes overly long and trite. I was bored out of my mind.
I don't really think that most children would honestly like the movie very much except for the fact that it's been hyped so much. They probably have collected all the toys and such that go along with the marketing of this drivel. It looks to me that the overly positive reviews are from those that are a part of the sheep syndrome that is sweeping the nation. Join the flock or be an outcast? Sorry, I'm not so easily led...this is one lame movie.
I feel so bad for Richard Harris. One of his last roles and it had to be this weak character. He's probably had worse rolls, but this certainly is not one to be proud of. Big beards do not make a character wise or strong. Alan Rickman's character was by far the best played one.

I'll rate this 1/10 because of the pretentiousness of the whole thing. Sorry kids, this one does suck.
