This movie is like watching your roommate play one of those stupid, neverending Final Fantasy games while for him to get killed so you can use the TV to actually watch something interesting. There's some cool stuff to look at here and there, and I was happy to see Sean Astin in a significant role, but after about an hour of watching little disfigured people running away from computer graphics, I'd had about enough. My guess is you'd like this a lot better if you're into the extremely long and thoroughly uninteresting books that accompany this particular series. The fonts are too small!
Nearly everything else I saw this year was better than this.
