This film of almost two hours could be an excellent film if, inter alia, it were shortened to not much more than ninety minutes-though some scenes particularly at the beginning, were unnecessarily rushed.
For example, a lengthy episode of our two leads wandering into some very attractive places, several times, and then just sitting therein admiring the view could be a much shorter but more entertaining montage.
A cynic might call this a live-action remake of Monsters Inc. As far as the conceit of a door which leads people into other places goes.
Despite its being co-produced by the Jim Henson Company the goblins looked ugly but charmless.
