I thought I'd take a chance and while I can see why people say don't like it, I found something pleasant about it. I like the visuals quite a bit, and I like that it doesn't take itself very seriously. It's sort of a weird melding of Chinese fantasy and Baron Munchausen.
It creates a fabric, or coherent world that's probably responsible for my pleasant reaction, along with actors who are just naturally pleasing on screen. On the other hand, it's clunky, drawn out, the dialog is stilted, it's sometimes disjointed, and a dozen other things.
But as I already said, it's fascinating enough visually to get you through at least one viewing. I never fast forwarded at any point which is a lot more than I can say for a lot of movies these days. I'm sure low expectations helped, but...
Aw, to heck with it. I enjoyed it. Gone with the Wind it ain't, but I enjoyed it despite its numerous shortcomings.
