Review by Tanner

2.4 / 5

i give make-up a 5 because it was great. The music score really didn't get my attention, unlike other movies such as lotr or star wars, if it doesn't have good music, then that goes down a lot in my book. The art direction wasn't that great. Acting was average and i liked it even though the part where peter holds his sword, he looks very unskilled. The cinematography was ok. Costume design wasn't very good for the movie. Most of all, the thing i hated the most, WAS THE DIRECTING!! It wasn't good at all to me, the director didn't really do a good job from my views. The special effects were better than i thought. The editing wasn't good. the screenplay was average. This movie really wasn't what i thought it would be. The commercial interested me alot and when i saw the movie....it just wasn't that great...
