Review by JELLYBEAN

4.4 / 5

I thought this movie was very well done. The Make Up was amazing and was done so well that it must have taken hours to design the creatures. The Music was splendid and every piece of it matched exactly what was happening.The Art Direction was best that I have ever seen in a movie. There is one word explaining the Acting...fascinating, you must have trained the actors and actresses day and night to be that great. How to explain the Cinematography? I would have to say it was fantastic, I don't know why but it was. The Costume Design was magnificent because it had so much detail and so much work put into it. The Directing was incredible, it was directed so incredibly that I cannot explain it much else. The Special Effects were done very greatly through all of the movie. The Editing was ok, it could have been done better, but in most parts it it was really good. The Screenplay was amazing and it was great.
