I haven\'t seen the movie but one of my good friends has and he said that it totally sucked.... but he\'s read the books and loved the books... so you know. But I completely agree with you on how many big budget movies are worthless. Now they are pretty much just making big budget movies for the heck of it, either thinking they can improve on a book or an old movie because we have the \"oh-so-wonderful magic\" of CGI *barf* (I\'m so sick of CGI :sick:) or just to make money. Rarely do they have an original or at least interesting plot anymore. :pinch: Just pull any random story out of your sock, add some big name actors AND YOU\'VE GOT YOURSELF A MOVIE! *unimpressed face* I personally think it is an insult to our intelligence Anyway, I agree once again. I love fantasy... and sci-fi. I like it when a movie, book, or TV series can take me to a different world. Yes, I know that was really cheesy.
