Brown Thu, 07 Oct 2010 15:31:05 +0000 http://www.atatheatrenearyou.org/the-water-horse-legend-of-the-deep/#comment-16074 This was an incredibly boring movie. Good for kids, thats about it. <br /> <br />Some really bad points: <br /> <br />It was sooooo predictable. I don't want to list anything that was predictable so that it doesn't spoil anything you might just happened to not figure out, because it would most likely be the only thing you didn't figure out. Regardless, everything in the entire movie you knew would happen minutes before it did. Thats just poor story telling. There really is no shred of a unique way they tried to tell the story, at all. <br /> <br />Typical characters and characteristics. The only interesting character was the handyman because he attempted humor (and failed) and he had some history to him, which, of course, they didn't develop. I really tried to reason with myself by saying "well they only have a couple hours for a movie, I guess they did good for so little time" but I just can't think that, and so I don't want to lie to myself (or you subsequently). <br /> <br />So the story and the characters were horrible, can it be any worse? Nope. <br /> <br />Some good points: <br /> <br />Cast was good, they did a descent job. They sounded realistic so thats good enough for me. The music was good, I love scotish music. And I liked the accents, love scotish accents. <br /> <br />If you like the typical family movie with a cutsie story then this is the movie for you. If you do not want something that you can watch for ten minutes and know the whole story, then don't get this. Simple as that. There are plenty of other good childrens movies that either a) the adults also can enjoy, or b) aren't anywhere near as predictable. Rating: 1 / 5 This was an incredibly boring movie.

The change to a boy was not lost on my 10-year-old daughter, who lost interest in seeing the movie once she figured out from the previews that the sister lost out on the story. I don't see any reason for the big change - did they think no one would have actually read the book ? Rating: 1 / 5 In the book the main character is the sister.

Thu, 07 Oct 2010 12:17:24 +0000 http://www.atatheatrenearyou.org/the-water-horse-legend-of-the-deep/#comment-16072 I haven't been able to watch the entire movie, it goes through long spells of people in war tiem doing something. Can't hang around long enough to care. Maybe the budget was short and they could only do a little story about the Waterhorse and then plump out the movie with the people parts. ZZZzzzzzzzzz...... <br /> <br />On the plus side, the cinematography was phenomenal, the music score ditto, the FX on the Waterhorse likewise. But why didn't the kid get the bends when the Waterhorse took him down very deep, very fast and brought him up even faster? At least his eardrums should have exploded. And the boy's red, red McCauley Culkin lips creeped me out! Rating: 1 / 5 I haven’t been able to watch the entire movie, it goes through long spells of people in war tiem doing something.

Very unhappy. Rating: 1 / 5 I ordered the special 2 disc edition and they sent me the one disc regular version and I emailed numerous times and this seller ignored my emails. Very unhappy.
