Watchable

Rating: 6/10 (1 June 2002)

After all the expectations how great the movie would be and how much money it would produce (as if this is the most important thing about a movie) I was very disappointed. The plot has holes and the story line switches for no reason here and there. The characters are not convincing and the relations are almost non-existing. And it's boring quite a good deal of the time. But there are virtues too - very beautiful pictures, nice visual effects and interesting and original events. And I guess for kids it's fun from time to time. The acting is also good and the young people are really nice. But anyway this movie was far from being what it was supposed to be - one of the greatest fairy tales ever filmed. Far from classic kids' fairy tales such as Neverending Story or Star Wars (episodes 4-6). So Can Watch It, But Not Very Good - 6/10.
