Awful story good special effects I haven't read the books, but there must have been a lot of skipping in story to butcher it into this garbage of a movie. Nothing made any sense, they should have branden this as a comedy instead. Special effects were nice that's the only redeeming factor about this movie.
If you are going to enjoy this unplug your brain and stop thinking and just watch the Special effects as they were spectacular. Everything but special effects were bad. You felt no real connection to the characters as everything was just crammed in there. They present the characters with some backstory then wham chaos that made no sense unfolds, characters do pretty much nothing more than try to look cool. Then the new found friends set out on new adventures the end.
