Installment #4

I'm not sure how many of you have actually read the book. The book was entertaining, it was a good read and it worked well for little kids as a nice story. Of course, that is if you put all Christian overtones aside.

The movie itself, is quite good. Of course, if you're looking for an absolutely spectacular plot line, then look elsewhere. The movie provides a basic outline of the story and everything is essentially just a lead up to the enormous battle scene near the end. Of course, the book was a lot like that in itself.

What I really liked, was that it didn't miss anything critical in the movie. The book was well followed and all the necessary points of information were present. The battle scene is what appealed to me in the end, however, as it always would.

Putting aside all bad armour comments and such, this is one of the most spectacular battle scenes I've seen in any movie and it saddened me that it was so very short. If they could have made the battle scene longer, drawn it out and included more tactics, more suspense, made it more Militaristic, this movie would have found its way into my collection long before it did.

However, it is an amazing movie, the children can be forgiven their poor acting, they're kids after all. The movie itself is an excellent watch if you're looking for an entertaining movie that the whole family can watch and will enjoy.

I recommend it and give it the following:

3.5 Oblivious Plot Points

4 Oblivious Visual Effects Points

3 Oblivious Acting Points

5 Oblivious Setting Points

For an overall 3.875 Oblivious Points.

I won't be doing a Factions review this time, as I've just finished Downloading the Patch for Auto Assault and plan on playing that a little before I go to bed.

Expect an Auto Assault review sometime soon!
