Rarely am I compelled to write a review but for this movie I must.
It had us laughing hysterically behind our hands from the first magical fight scene, while our 10yo son sat enthralled. He loved it for some reason!! Probably because of the comic, non- threatening 'action' and awfully contrived 'romance' between the young characters. The only good actor in the whole movie was the young girl playing the love interest for the terribly weak male lead. Poor girl. I can only hope she goes on to better things as she deserves. But the rest of the cast and indeed the extras, (hilarious library scene) were so far out of their depth they were suffering the bends. Might explain the faces they were pulling..
Overall, the plot was awful, and frighteningly derivative. Perhaps even litigiously so.
The special effects were second rate. The dialogue was hilariously bad and they even had the cheek to leave my son thinking there'd be a sequel.
