![]() ![]() I still enjoyed the film even though it left a lot of unanswered questions for me. I don't like to compare books to film, simply because you can go into so much more detail in a book. I keep seeing articles and reviews from people who've read the book, then bash the film because the film itself is so far separated from the text. Again, I think the director was perhaps the main problem, reigning in their performances. Personally, I thought Bridges portrayal of Master Gregory was well executed. While we get more background on Bridge's character than we do with other characters in the film, their performances, while quite acceptable could have been much better. I'll be the first to admit, that pairing Jeff Bridges with Julianne Moore was a great idea. It reminded me of the failed film Eragon, where you suddenly go from farm boy, to instantly learning Elvish, knowing how to fight, and just "knowing" everything. Considering the LOTR series each had about the same budget, this film could have been so much more. Had this film had Peter Jackson, or Guillermo del Toro at the helm, it would have been an entirely different film. ![]() It just seemed some of the scenes were out of sequence, or, didn't have enough detail. Had it been longer, I think many more "things" could have been better explained. At least, never a film with a budget of 95 million dollars. I think the problem with the film, is that it's director, Sergey Bodrov has never done a film of this scope. I can see why critics and people in general are dissing the film. ![]()
