I guess I'm the only one who kinda liked it. Honestly, I don't think it was that bad. The imagery was good, and so was the story-line.

Awful in nearly ever respect. Edward Speleers was thoroughly unwatchable in his role as the titular character, but he's not the only one to blame. The performances of Jeremy Irons, Rachel Weiss, and John Malkovich were all aggressively mediocre as well. The locations were often drowned in darkness to the point where sets probably weren't necessary, and the story and dialogue were hackneyed, cliché, derivative, etc., etc., etc. Bottom line: Don't bother.

This is one of my faves. I love the special effects and the Dragons. Excellent! Very safe for the whole family to enjoy.

An emotionless film whose only selling point is a few spectacular sequences of special effects. The cast are wooden and Malkovich is the only one inappropriately camping it up. By the third act, I couldn't care less about any of the characters or plot.

What? This movie not only stays away from the book, but manages to make it completely a bucket of crap. The book doesn't even seem too be referenced by this movie. Terrible, needs to be re-done.
