Review title: Passable
Product review: Although passable this movie falls far short from the potential it's plotline held. While the effects were nicely done and the magic smoothly incorporated the real flaw in EARTHSEA was the dialogue and acting.Shawn Ashmore, while not what you would call a 'bad actor' most definately needs supporting cast, we've seem him in several films (X-men notably) but he needs help. He had none. The rest of the cast was a jumble of men and women who either stumbled over their lines or overdid in moments that were laughable.EARTHSEA's plot had a lot of promise, the books were decently done and well worth the read, but this movie... well it definately falls short of what it should have been. The character's weren't correctly cast and the script was poorly thought out. I blame this on the director and as such I have to rate two starts however much I wish I could give more.
