Review title: What are reviewers thinking?
Product review: I finally saw the Dark Crystal with my son after I'd heard of it from my youth, but never saw it. The technology was interesting and supposedly ground-breaking for the day, in animatronics and puppetry, but aside from that, it's all downhill. The story was simplistic and uninspired. The characters aren't developed much, the scripting is dull and the presentation is so, so slow. My son couldn't relate to the narrative factor, asking mainly "when are the characters going to actually talk?" I was bored to sleep, literally on several occasions during the movie, and by the time it ended, I was relieved that the whole event was finally over. My wife's one comment after sitting through the movie was "well, that was just horrid." So, what in the heck do the other reviewers see in this clunker? It's a mystery to me and I have to feel that it's a lot of Jim Hensen is a genius-like feelings without actually taking an honest look at what the end-product really is.
