Disappointed

Rating: 6/10 (31 December 2005)

I myself was really disappointed in this movie. Not because of bad acting or bad CG. The whole story was cheesy, yes it was. It was overly much Disney, seen this before with just a different setting. What made it different was because it was based on a book I didn't read.
The bad things; - Huge mighty battle's and not a single blood drop? I mean, why pull down the violence in a war? I guess Disney wanted to earn a couple of more bucks making the movie from 11 years age instead of 15. - The movie could be 'read' by a 11 year old. I can accept that a movie should be able to build up tension and people should be able to expect a lot of things because of implantation's (right word?) in the movie but things as the 'one drop medicine' explained several scenes before they were even shown. - Everything with the CG was great except the animation in some parts. I don't say that I can do it better (I never will) but sometimes the flow was 'too much'. I mean, every movement was too smooth. Not smooth frame-wise, just how they moved. Sometimes people and animals do stiff movements....
The good things; - Great render of CG, it really was. - The fake snow didn't look too fake for once! - The actors did a really great job. - Scenes, lighting and camera angles were well executed, at least for me.
That's what I though of it.
