Grown-up themes, interesting - though violent - story, young protagonists so it was advertised as a "kids movie" when anyone who read the books could tell them it wasn't. Gorgeous fantasy look. And, unlike you, I DID see it. elizabeth I'm hoping they do all three films, and just wait for the public to catch on. Then they can repackage the DVDs about ten times to make a nice profit. -- | | Read Entire Entry |

It definitely wasn't a TIRED child's fantasy movie. In fact, I think it might have had trouble finding an audience because it LOOKED like it might be a child's movie, but it was far better than that. --
