Beautiful cheese

Rating: 7/10 (23 September 2008)

Far too cheesy for it's own good, this movie.
The saving grace for me is the character design and the fact that so few movies these days can get away with this level of costume and make up. It's just refreshing for me to see non-computer generated beasties! Great creature design and a truly magical visuals, but it sort of lacked in every other department and fell FLAT on several. However, if like me, you kind of like cheesy stories with monsters, it's pretty awesome.
This would have been one of my favourite movies had I watched it when I was about 8, I think.
