I know why you hate it (undecipherable dialogue)

What I loved most: The wicked action sequences (that's why it's CG folks)

What I really hated: Tie between "dead-eyes" and medieval/transalvanian/euro? accents

Call me crazy - but I enjoyed this film. You will too if you can forgive the occasional "dead-eyed" CG puppet. It did remind me in the beginning of Shrek, but after you see the horrific violence during battles between men and demons, you'll know you're in the land of Macho Men Mythology (cue manly roar), not cartoony fairy tales. It's awesome. A tale of a braggart who redeemed himself, and a cautionary tale not to **** with demons. If only more of the audience could catch what the characters were saying. (Angelina Jolie's character sure spoke with a really weird accent...)

To Boring!!!!!!!!!!

What I loved most: Can not think of one

What I really hated: Hopeless

Computer animation trying to capture the emotion of human is still a long way to go. The movie sucks big time. Too boring cannot feel any action pack or excitement during the show

Best CGI Butt ever!

What I loved most: Best action sequence

What I really hated: the accent

I guess this movie will be about acquire taste after all. The movie started out a lil 'lost' or misdirected. I came into the theatre not knowing what this movie is all about and imagine the shock i got when i found out that all the characters are CGIs. So i hang on for about 10 mins and then the movie really started after that. Best ride ever. Go watch it if you spectacle and please dont get vcds or dvds, nothing can compensate the viewing pleasure of watching in a theatre esp a movie like this. GO watch it!
