For a kid at heart... or a kid

Rating: 5/10 (30 July 2006)

To quickly summarize the movie was too slow, too long, and too little. You'll understand too little soon enough if you decide to see the movie.
DMC was far more hammy than the first. It might appeal to your kids or the kid in you but if your tastes are beyond a Disney movie you may want to skip this one. That's not to say that the movie didn't have possibilities or even that the acting was bad. In fact the acting was quite good I thought. The special effects were spectacular and seemingly not overdone. That's why I gave it a 5. Had the pacing been better it would have deserved at least a 7 but in the end it was too focused on having the broadest possible appeal and lost the almost realistic edge of the first movie. This was far more cartoony.
