Don't short change yourself, watch it.

Rating: 8/10 (15 July 2004)

Don't be put off this film.
I agree the visuals are definitely over the top at points, like the previous reviewer I too found them to get out of hand.
Does this make it a bad film? - No
Is this film thoroughly enjoyable? - Yes
Is it like a cartoon? - No
A very good film, well worth the cost of a cinema ticket or even the cost of the DVD.
People tend to be over critical sometimes, whilst they aren't wrong I feel they can put people off a film they would quite likely enjoy.
1/10 was completely unjustified, obviously not a professional rating, leaves no room for many films that are clearly far worse.
If your looking for a great film then your looking in the wrong place, if your looking to immerse yourself in a thoroughly enjoyable film and even possibly become emotionally attached to some of the characters then this film is for you.
Just to highlight how bad the review on IMDb truly is, the votes speak for themselves, with the majority of people voting for 8 or 10 out of 10, not 1/10 as "unemployed critic" pointed out, less than 3% giving the film 1 out of 10.
Don't short change yourself, watch it.
