    I so didnt like it, it was boring, and the directing and the writing was just incredibly lack of real talent
  • June 21, 2009
    The movie was kind of slow but it was still interesting to watch.
  • March 18, 2009

  • November 2, 2008
    I watched an edited version of this movie. It was really weird and didn't follow the poem at all.
  • October 19, 2008
    The creature effects were merely ok. Most lines were just too corny. The pace was kinda slow; kinda boring. But still, I guess this movie is still cool.
