a disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (7 January 2006)

If the whole world tells you that you must see a certain movie, and this movie wins a lot of Oscar's as well, the disappointment will be big if the movie fails to please you. That's the case with this movie.
Surely a lot of good acting, surely a lot of nice costumes and locations, and the computer-freaks have done a great job with the animations, but this doesn't help if the story is thin and never goes into your heart. It doesn't. As an European, used to see movies from my own country and from Europe, I don't understand what part of the body the people behind the Oscar award committee is thinking with. Do they think with the wallet ? Or can't America offer anything better than this ? Really disappointing.
