I actually wanted to see this movie. I haven’t read the books but in recent years I have become a mini super fan of the YA fantasy/Sci Fi genre. I enjoy the magic and other parallel worlds that they talk about.
From the trailers I knew this was going to be a special effects bonanza and I was actually looking forward to that.
After watching the movie I felt totally ripped off. There was SO MUCH story that could have been explored there. SO MUCH. Really good stuff that could have been focused on and made more relevant. Instead we get Jonathan Rhys Meyers with the WORLD’S WORST hair extensions doing his WORST 80’s B-Movie bad guy impersonation. WHAT?? So bad. AVOID at all costs.
