Gormenghast (2000)
10/10
Almost Wonderful

No, all of it doesn't work, but enough of it does that it's a welcome respite from the childishness of Lord of the Rings.

At least this story isn't about a bunch of Cub Scouts on a Quest. And it's nice to have women characters who aren't simply hallucinations out of Burne-Jones paintings.

Good acting, inconsistent direction. A perfect change of pace for fantasy lovers, with a lovely musical score to boot.
