Title: Better than I remembered
Review: I haven't read any of the books, and I saw this movie years ago when it came out, but recently watched it again with the family. It was better than I remembered. The story, acting, scenery, special effects, etc. are all quite good, so we all enjoyed the movie. I just don't care for the darker mood of the movie as compared to the brighter original, and there's nothing particularly "deep" here. There's also a time travel aspect of the story which generates the usual logical contradictions, but it's handled smoothly enough that the contradictions can be ignored. So I'll go with 4 stars rather 5, though I can still recommend it to people interested in a fantasy action movie which has some scary elements.
Is the review positive or negative?
