Should tank in the box office

Rating: 3/10 (8 December 2005)

I believe this movie has terrible flaws. It is pretentious and not particularly well acted; the visual effects are many times terrible, even some of the blue screens look like effects created with back projection. I'm guessing Disney's idea with this film is to compete with Harry Potter or with LOTR, I think they are failing miserably. If they are lucky enough they might recover the 150M they spend in this film, I just hope they don't decide to make the next books into films. As an investing tip, sell all your Disney stock or hope that Pixar's Cars will be as good as all the other Pixar films, if not, you are better off flushing your money down the toilet. Whatever happened to good screenplay writers in Disney? People wonder why the box office slump, well, it is easy, big studios spend 150M creating movies like Narnia. Avoid this movie, you have been warned, if you see it, it would be at your own risk.
