It doesn't have the depth, the majesty, or the richness of characterization. I think people will go in expecting more and instead will have to receive Lord-of-the-Rings-Lite. If Del Toro wants to take on a project, let him take on "At The Mountains Of Madness" by Lovecraft.Stewart Sternberg (half of L.P.

I'm sure this latest movie will be stunning. That's the downside of CGI, I think. It used to be amazing. Now it's so common nothing particularly stands out anymore. I guess that's why "High-Def" was invented. Jeeze...I just can't keep up anymore.<BR/>(end meandering ramble)Lana Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06975996208260144558noreply@blogger.com
