I Like it.

I gave this movie four stars. Not because it's a 4 star film. But because I do like it. I don't hate this movie. I wish that it could have had a slower pace and the animation was really lacking. But, it told the story and I have high hopes for the next one. There had better be a next one, guys! I've been listening to Tracy's podcast and find it incredibly entertaining and informative. You learn a lot about the behind the scenes action that went on both in writing the books and getting this movie made. For those who critique this movie too harshly, I suggest you take a moment to find out just what it took for this movie to even happen. It's been a long journey. So, for all it's faults, it was a labor of love and we should be grateful that it even happened. And, again, for all it's faults, it's not a bad movie.

Don't let this put you off the books

The script is quite close to the books, and the characterisation of a few of the characters is 'close' but the comments other reviewers have made about the 2d/3d ring true. Also, there is an attempt to cover too much of the plot in one movie. Given the average fan-age is older (given the book was written in 1984) I'm not sure what the studio's direction is in producing a movie directed at a 7-10 year old audience. Read the books, and hope that this interest in making this into a film will lead to this being re-done some years later, or expanded in a directors cut at a later stage.

Conclusion - if you've read the books, this might disappoint, but at least it increases the visibility of the Dragonlance series.
