The best Fantasy since Star Wars

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2001)

I love Star Wars. I love most science-fiction films in General. So when I was invited to see 'The film of the year', I was slightly skeptical.
I was wrong to be. The film is an astouding masterpiece, a fantastic fantasy that combines brilliant action sequences with an utterly brilliant storyline (and not a bad conversion from the book itself).
The film itself is a classic battle between good and evil, I won't reveal any of the plot as I'm guessing most people already know it. Needless to say, the film stirs up great emotions, from sadness to actual horror when you come face to face with 'The eye!'
A couple of criticsms might be that the film is a good 2hrs and 50 minutes long, perhaps a little too long for some. Plus, the rating is wrong - the PG rating does not reveal a lot of the fairly scary and violent scenes that many young children would get pretty terrified at.
But that's all minor stuff. If you haven't seen it, why are you reading this? Get to the cinema!
