Being a lover of fantasy films, I was excited at the prospect of this film. Putting such a brilliant story on the big screen should have been a treat for the eyes. I saw this film in 3D and to be honest I'm glad I did, it really was a treat for the eyes. However, if i had seen it in 2D I think I would have walked out. The makers of this film spent 2yrs creating a film to look spectacular in 3D but forgot all about making an enjoyable film. The story telling capabilities of this film were poor and the soundtrack was so unconvincing that it may as well not have been there. In short, I was bored. There were scenes added just for the sake of the 3D effects, they had no link in the movie. If anything, the 3D effects looked best when they weren't forced. In the final scene with the dragon fight.....and the stupidly undersized dragon heart.....the 3D effects worked well, they weren't forced....just added. To top it all off, the new 3D specs are incredibly uncomfortable, they have no bridge so they don't sit on your nose properly. If you want my advice, I wouldn't bother seeing this film and if you do definitely see it in 3D, possibly it's only saving grace. To sum up, the best thing I got from the film was the head ache from the awkward 3D specs. 39 out of 44 people found this review helpful
