I really wanted to love this movie because of the classic it is based on, but I don't. I give this movie high points for accurately displaying the character. However, the movie itself wasn't quite good enough. I struggled to find a reason to actually care about Don Quixote and never was able to let myself like Sancho. Don Quixote's actions seemed more annoying and drawn out than comical or interesting. Giving the audience a good reason to like the characters and actually care about them should have been the filmmaker's primary goal. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The movie gave some tidbits such as when Don gave the children all of his money, but it never gave a solid reason to like him up front. I didn't hate the movie after watching it, and I did finish it, but I would never recommend it. Also, the visual effects were not that great. I could have easily forgiven that if the overall quality was better, but it really stuck out like a sore thumb when combined with my lack of interest in the movie.
