I don't get the hype

Rating: 3/10 (31 January 2007)

What is so good about this movie that everyone is raving about. Its too violent and scary for children. Too childish for adults, so who were they aiming this movie at? This movie was slow and boring. Its suppose to be a magical fairy tale. But that wasn't even the main story. The main story of this movie is the Spanish army against rebels.
The storyline just wasn't enjoyable for me. I know i'm not a child, and perhaps influenced by American fairy tales, but this movie looked awful.
I strongly NOT recommend you to bring children to watch this, or to bring yourself. Acting was sub par, story line was boring. So whats left... nothing.
