A little long with little character development

Rating: 4/10 (7 January 2002)

For the most part, I was disappointed in this movie. Being a trilogy, I thought the characters should have been developed more and their personalities explored more since some of them will probably be in the next two movies which have already been made. The story seems to meander with battle scene after battle scene, with unbelievable odds, reminisent of Rambo movies. The movie could had been an hour shorter by cutting out a battle scene, or two. There are just so many ways to destroy creatures. I doubt that I would care to watch either of the next two sequels/books. I can't understand the hype for this movie, at best it is average.
