Title: Don't waste your time
Product review: I've never been one to put much stock in the critical reviews of most movies, since too many times I've read terrible reviews, only to see a movie and thoroughly enjoy it; however, in the case of "The River King", the overwhelmingly negative reviews I read prior to viewing were certainly justified. To be short and to the point, this movie absolutely sucks. The storytelling is horrid and there's no way the book can be any worse. The acting throughout the movie is pretty subpar and the director does a horrid job at tying everything together. The ending was very anticlimactic and certainly unsatisfying. I'd go into greater depth, but this movie was just so bad that I can't even find the words to describe it. If I had to point out any bright spots, it would be the cinematography, which at times was pretty striking. In closing, save your money and don't see this movie.
