Not a good movie at all.

Rating: 3/10 (30 January 2009)

This is one of those movies I just don't get. I don't really see the point. Its just not an interesting movie. Yes its not horrible - but its definitely not a movie that I would watch again.
To me its just another one of those stupid kids adventure movies. The Harry Potter movies are infinitely better and more enjoyable. They release numerous movies very similar to these and they just aren't interesting or exciting. I'm not sure what the film makers were trying to achieve with this movie, but its pretty obvious that they didn't have high goals for the movie.
I'm not sure whether it is just due to a bad plot (then you have to blame the book) or whether it was just made poorly. Either way (or both) the movie is still a very boring and uninteresting try-hard kids movie.
I'm sure a lot of people have enjoyed this movie - but I still don't see what is good about it. As i said - its not horrible - but its even remotely good either - so why should you watch it? And the stupid - cliché happy ending, really annoyed me. I don't mind a happy ending (the Da Vinci Code for instance), but a stupid childish boring happy ending which you can think up in two seconds really annoyed me.
To sum it up: its a movie that is not funny, not interesting, not exciting, not anything good. Just don't watch it.
