What the...?

The book was overrated to begin with (and it was a wee bit of a ripoff of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings), but this book-to-movie adaption was just pathetic. It is a condensed version, at best, and really doesn't explain anything. So much is missed out from the book that it really doesn't seem worth it to me. I'm not going into too much detail, you can see for yourself. I didn't really like much of the acting, and I just have to ask... why does Durza look like a toned down version of Mortiis at times? (That might just be me...)

All that said it does have some nice effects (though the film does seem to be concentrated on them). I have to admit I went "awww" at the baby Saphira.

Now to avoid ranting about how every fantasy film seems to have a mandatory Scottish guy nowadays...
