Great Acting! Overall Great Special Effects! Ending....

Rating: 4/10 (3 January 2013)

I really struggled with what to rate this movie. I was such a fan of the Cartoon Version that I couldn't wait for this to come out! I'm so totally disappointed!! Let me explain, the movie itself goes along with pretty much the same story as the good old cartoon. Adding quite a bit of detail that the rather short cartoon version missed. So I did overall enjoy watching the story being retold by real people and it was good to see the my favorite wizard, but the ending. Well, obviously there is going to be a second one. I myself, somehow, did not know going into the theater to see this that there was going to be a second. Who knows maybe somehow third movie before I get to see the full end. Dammit, besides flashbacks there's just barely even a dragon in it. I was left totally hanging!! Sucked! Had I known this I would have saved myself the time, hassle, and money. Really wish I would have just waited for them to all come out on DVD or blu-ray and rented them at redbox or something. So whomever is to blame for that ending... well I won't write what I want to say on IMDb but I'm sure others can guess what I'm thinking! I hope less people will go see these, leave ya hanging, type of movies and just rent them so they knock it off! Perhaps, it's just me and this is what the majority of the fans wanted.. but I sure didn't.
