This film seems to have had mixed reviews some hinted at the fact that it jumped on the coat tails of movies such as Lord Of The Rings but didn’t do such a good job. Other critics remarked that the CGI monsters were too complicated and with simplification would have been more frightening. A remake is always a tough thing to succeed at and especially as this is such a classic story as old as the hills. The 3D element didn’t help either and many reviewers advised the public not to waste their money on the extra entrance fee because the last minute choice to make the film in 3D caused the badly choreographed battle scenes to be difficult to follow, making the viewer dizzy.
What’s your take on this film? Agree, Disagree or just plain indifferent?
