This is one of those movies that can really make me mad. One more movie scorning a brilliant piece of literature and one more movie to halt a great future movie. Which movie? The one this could have been had it had a script writer who could actually read and a director who hasn't lost his eyesight in some freak accident involving glue and a plastic bag. In other words: It will take considerable time before someone who can actually make movies are allowed to do it right, because it has already been done. Sheez! If it doesn't show already, the books are absolutely brilliant! They shine in a world of below par fantasy literature and should be in every fantasy loving person's book shelf alongside Lord of The Rings and Pullman's Darker Materials. The latter being another example of literary rape by inadequate and money hungry movie producers. There should be a clause in the copyright laws stating that if a movie turns out bad, it should be legal for others to disregard all copyright issues and remake it and do it properly.
Why this movie is extraordinarily bad has already been commented on in every possible way. There is no need to reiterate. But to be honest, I saw very few redeeming qualities.
