horrible and very funny adaptation of the popular child book that play like a bad snl skit that be try to parody the lord of the ring than the book that it base on . the screenplay be a major mess with dialog that even little kid would find stupid and the performance be almost all laughably bad . jeremy iron and john malkovich should be ashamed of themselves for even agree to be in this film and djimon hounsou should start read his script a little more carefully . the only redeeming thing about this crappy film be the great voice over work of rachel weisz and who manage to give the dragon saphira more talent and range in term of solid act than all the human actor work in the film . the c. g. i work do for saphira be also well do and make her more lifelike than her human co star as well . outside of rachel weisz great voice act and the great special effect for the dragon saphira and this movie be more and less a bad comedy that do not deserve nether of them .
