yes and i give this a 2. i wasn not able to pay attention to the whole thing and so i want to be fair . 1 ) be the dubbing suppose to be off during the film . if you have ever watch a kung fu movie and then you have some idea of what the dubbing be like . in the beginning of the movie and the dubbing be twice as bad . the voice over work be terrible . i think film student could have do well after they have partied all night . 2 ) the special effect be terrible . i swear and i could see wrinkle in a few of the back drop . the effect seem to be very outdated . the elf do not really have pointy ear either . 3 ) skimpy costume . this be suppose to be a movie for kid and right . well and black leather and bikini do not really fit in a christmas movie and i be sorry . i would say it have no magic at all . the tv guide review say that this movie do not capture the magic of the original . i would say it have no magic . i could go on and but i keep twitch when i think of the movie . it be very slow and and unwatchable . watch it if you must and but it not really so bad it funny . it just plain bad .
