Could have been much better

Rating: 4/10 (23 July 2006)

I saw the ads and couldn't wait to see it!! I rented it and watched it today and was I disappointed! I FF through quite a bit of the movie. The only good thing about this movie was the special effects. I loved those!
The writer COULD have spent some quality time on, say, the plot. Never having read the book, I don't know how true to it the movie is, but writers and developers take poetic license all the time and they should have done so with this movie!
Anymore, it seems like the trailers that we see on TV are the best part of most movies. I'm usually let down.
