Don't believe the hype!

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2001)

I saw this movie recently, and I must say that the movie didn't live up my expectations after listening to the reviews of it. When people on the average give it 9.3 on IMDB (as of this writing), it must be due to some sort of mass hysteria. People always want to be part of a success, and so, if everybody says it's good, why don't I go and join in? The movie is not exactly bad. Acting is ok in general. Sceneries are beautiful, special effects ok - althoug not spectacular. BUT - the story is thin, and there is no humour at all in the movie. I have been told that, the same goes for the book, but that doesn't make the film better.
Just my thoughts - not everybody find it amazing. I would give it 7 or 8 out of 10, no more.
