Saw the movie at the premiere last night...

Rating: Null/10 (4 May 2004)

I was pleasantly surprised by this film. I thought it would be kind of dumb with obvious VFX and fake scenes. I was surprised at how well done the VFX were and how well they blended with the live action.
You have to pay attention to the dialogue to understand the story. There are a couple of stand out cheesy moments but they do lend the romantic flair. Visually, it was an exceptional movie to watch.
This movie wasn't meant to be an epic Oscar winner. It is meant to entertain. And, that it did. Try to see it in the theatres to enjoy it on the big screen. If you wait for the DVD, you'll lose a lot of the experience. Have fun!
By the way, for the severe critics out there, yes, there are weaknesses in this movie but it's definitely worth the $9.
