They call this acting?

Rating: 1/10 (7 January 2009)

This is one of the worst acted movies I have ever seen. I have no problems with movies being retranslated from book form. Retranslations are not supposed to follow the story line exactly. They should be in the spirit of the book. Sometimes they work, sometimes not. That wasn't the only problem with this movie. The acting itself is disastrous. These are supposed to be professional actors, right? There are children who do way better jobs than this. Even the special effects don't make up for the terrible, terrible acting (and even they left a lot to be desired). Don't pay to see this movie. If you can view it for free, do so. Better yet, find someone to pay you to see it. You'll still be disappointed. It doesn't matter if you read the books or not. That will not change the fact that this is still the worst acted movie in history.
