Didn't like it - sorry

Rating: Null/10 (4 January 2002)

I side with the nay-sayers on this one. The film is tedious to watch (another reviewer has noted the action-talk-action-talk pattern the screenplay follows), the swirling visuals (especially in the fight scenes) are sick-making and confusing, and considering the literary basis for the film the script is decidedly illiterate.
A great disappointment, especially as I took my son promising him a magical cinema experience. He simply didn't know what was going on. I'm afraid the next two will have to recover their costs without our help.
