Awesome. A 3 hour pure enjoyment journey

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2012)

Song, cheer, epic quest, triumph over evil, deep characters, real plot, heavenly vistas, awesome dialogue, super long, took 6 year old and he sat through a 3 hour movie because this is awesome and fun to watch.
I liked the visuals, they were awesome the movie is like a series of SLR pictures. I also like the music, it was something me and the kid were humming all afternoon. I really liked how the characters were upgraded from then book - less bumbling and foolishness. All the complaints I heard before were dead wrong. The visuals were awesome. The whole thing was well constructed and totally worthy.
While the book can seem to be dragging out at times and light weight, this movie never drags. Its basically constant plot, character, action, lather, rinse, repeat.
