not bad

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2002)

Christmas 2002, Christmas 2003...
I don't want to wish my life away. Still, the release of the DVDs should alleviate the wait.
Nothing could have prepared me for this film. I know the books inside out. My Dad, however, has never seen the point in this fantasy codswallop. When we walked out after the film and he said 'that was fantastic' I almost cried. I was worried that it wouldn't live up to my expectations, be like the Bakshi rubbish. I was worried it would be ridiculed by those who never looked at the books. I was worried they would can parts 2 and 3. I needn't have worried.
