See the previews, all you need

Rating: 1/10 (12 December 2005)

The effects were real spotty. I'm sure most of us are familiar with this story from our childhoods and it's a simplistic one. I know that I went to see how this well known story was transcribed to film. Truthfully, it's hard to sit through 2.5 hours of the story unless there's some darn good eye-candy to go with your tub of popcorn.
The green-screening or whatever it was was awful. Seriously, you know those old movies where someone is driving and it's obvious that the passing scenery was projected on the background -- this level of "wizardry" showed up numerous times. I was deeply disappointed by that -- It felt like Disney resurrected the Snowball Express (circa 1972) special effects team.
See the previews -- they are indeed great ... but then you've seen it all and there is no need to see the flick itself.
