Oh what a led balloon of a movie!

Rating: 1/10 (16 June 2012)

Having seen the original trilogy, this lame Sunday school version is a joke. Awkward acting, poor story-line, bad directing, cutting and sound...quite honestly I could just go on and on. There was absolutely nothing I would rate highly in this Tinseltown version of the true original. Fake Swedish accent speaking, ugly and unsympathetic actors running around from A to B without any sense of continuation in the story- line or script. If I hadn't seen the original first, I would have been really confused. Is the US audience really so different that they had to have their own Disney version? I have seen dozens of European classics turned in to this kind of mush. After the story is squeezed through a one size fits all machine of the Hollywood industry, all the goodness and taste has been removed to leave bite size, easy to digest goop with just a hint of added coloring and flavoring.
