Good movie, needs better lighting

Rating: 8/10 (5 April 2006)

This is a really good movie. However, a lot of it occurs at night. There is almost 30 minutes where the screen is either entirely black or only has one or two reflected images on it. It was really hard to tell what was going on at these times. This is unfortunate, as the rest of the movie was really good. The scenes, especially the battle scenes, were almost too clean. There was no dirt on anyone, even in the middle of battle. Also no blood. Of course, the movie is aimed at kids, so this is sorta expected. The special effects for the various creatures were very well done, though. It's a very good family movie, but should also be good for normal viewing.
