Ok we all love fantasy movies right? (Well, most do). I saw this movie the other day and I can tell you it was probably the worst movie I've seen in a long time.
The story is based off of a video game so you're not expecting much from that are you? Well, they managed to make it so much unlike the game you would never know it (I wish they had done it like the game's story. It was better.)
The acting, directing, script, and sound on this film were terrible. The special effects weren't very good either.
But I thought it was worth the watch just to learn from something bad. Sure you can learn a lot from Tolkien or C.S. Lewis but I learned a lot of what NOT to do when watching this movie. It really was very educational. So I would recommend you fantasy writers watching this movie to learn what not to do because anything that they could do wrong they did.

(WARNING: The movie is PG-13 so be warned. It deserved it.)

I don't think I've ever even heard of this movie, which, based off of your analysis, doesn't surprise me.

Haha. Sounds funny. Was it humorously bad?

I like learning from poor, retarded, or just plain bad films.

We should start a thread for movie reviews. I have a film review blog... http://www.critblog.com.

Some parts were funny bad but most were boring bad.

(Are you interested in film making Eli?)

Haha, I saw this Joe and I completely agree, I did not enjoy it at all.

Oh yes, very.

Although I've been delinquent on my script writing this month...

You should get on Christianfilmmakers.org

Yo Joe, Incase you haven't noticed it is I.

Recruiting script writers I see.

I've already tried to get him to join, Joe

[offtopic]Just visited your blog, Eli. It's really good! I will have to bookmark it. [/offtopic]
