The problem with the film is that it doesn't take enough time to introduce its world to the audience as the first films of LORD OF THE RINGS and HARRY POTTER did. Rather it feels like the second film in the series and you try to catch up as you go. Otherwise the story is rich and solid with the chosen child at its center with colorful characters and animals enhanced with stunning visual effects. Maybe the book was too complex and had to be more simplified or the film given more time. If any then all the fingers should be pointed out to writer Chris Weitz not the director Chris Weitz who may have been the wrong choice for the material. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
