i saw this with a friend of mine over the weekend in a press screening and i really do not enjoy it . the special effect be fine but the story be rather hammy and the performance be not very good . the main character look like a deer in head light most of the time and the villain act like cartoon stereotype more than real character . most of the character here seem like reject from other film and it show by how unoriginal they be . the only performance in the film that have any credibility what so ever be the dragon saphira and that mainly because she be voice by oscar win actress rachel weisz and who have more talent in her vocal cord than all the actor work in this film combine . my suggestion and wait for dvd .
