A way of showing fantasy.

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2002)

Many fantasies have been made showing nice special effects and a good story line. This one (of course based on a book)gives us the chance to refresh our minds in the fantasy genre but still keeping us interested in old ways of the genre.
Despite the length of the film which does bring us to get a bit tired, you know you have to stay awake to see better parts of the film. It doesn't disappoint. Everything, from small battles to giant monsters are shown here and because the director keeps everything under control, none of it gets silly or farfetched.
This film is not for young children, yet it is a family film and has no sex or nudity or bad language. The violence is there but is entertaining all the way through.
I've got to mention the plot. I'm sure you know it but it's great and every actor does a terrific job bringing extremely difficult characters to life.
I will just say that this movie is one the best ever made and if you stick with it you are really going to enjoy. Those who don't read or find anything and everything funny, will want to pass as it does get confusing as you may probably laugh at a few things and find yourself asking yourself "What's going on". 4 out of five.
