You could only enjoy this film if you had never watched the many other fantasy films that outdo it. Epic films like Ben Hur or Lawrence of Arabia can easily bear 3 hours but most films are rightly a maximum of 2. Some pretentious idiot decided this milk and water tosh was worthy enough to torture an audience for 3 long hours. Worst of all the action in the second half is tediously slow and entirely unconvincing. What you get is a re-telling of the story (an OK idea)that turns into a soppy, silly,clichéd Hollywood idea of Eco-giants, nice cuddly creatures who wouldn't hurt a fly. Give us a break! I fast forwarded the second half! Abbot and Costello did better.
