As a classic example of how NOT to make a movie. I just got back from it, and dear God was it fucking awful. Bad special effects, bad writing, terrible actor, AWFUL cinematography...The list goes on.

It's. A. Bad. Movie.

    Not gonna lie, the trailers kinda had me excited to see it. I'll probably catch a showing next week. Then again, I have low standards for movies and man, it really can't be worse than Eragon, like Sil said, can it?

    Hey Knob, you were right, Stardust was pretty damn enjoyable.

    I'm just hoping it is moderately successful so they can make the last two books into movies. Newberry medal well deserved for Grey King. Books made me hella interested in Wales, till I realized Wales is all sheep screwing eurorednecks.

    I don't think it'll do much business sadly. A shame, because it was most enjoyable.

    All fantasy films are in service to the one that rises above all. Labyrinth.
