No it`s utter pap.

A truly subjective opinion if ever I heard one. I`d recommend seeing it for oneself to make a truly informed opinion, despite what some people may say about it.

I can`t stand Phantom Menace or Lara Croft, but some swear by these, so go figure and let everyone`s opinion count.

Yes - it is a subjective opinion - the subject being that the film is crap, plain and simple.

Fox didn`t close down their newly created animation division and encourage the chief executive in charge of it to resign, whilst having lost millions of dollars, for no reason.

If anyone, at all, enjoyed this film and DIDN`T think it was crap please let me know.

Okay. Can you write a constructive review and post it here in the Visitors Reviews for all to see? Or all you all mouth? ;-)

No I ain`t all mouth, and I would post a review but this would mean that I will probably have to watch the film again - which I don`t want to do, as it is utter rot.

OK - a reference quality DTS soundtrack with active use of all speakers, good imaging and tightly controlled accurate use of the subwoofer when needed - and a fault free digital THX approved transfer with bold strong colours, nonexistent grain and deep, deep blacks it may have.

But this does not make up for the poor animation, annoying and uninventive characters (in design and personality), long drawn out story (the film is only about 80 odd minutes in length) which frankly becomes embarrassing to watch (the star wars "tie fighter attack" rip off scene as an example), and a rather pathetic "rock" soundtrack. The film doesn`t know whether to appeal to kids or younger teens - and it works out to become appealing to no-one.

It`s already been reviewed anyway, I don`t think another review would be welcomed.

If you check out the reviews that have been published, you`ll find a mixed bag. I`m not saying that the film is either good or bad since I`ve not seen it, I`m just pointing out that without constructive opinion, how can one make an informed buying decision?

It`s good to have balanced reviews. I appreciate reviews where people do point out the flaws where they seem to be, and offer a different perspective.

This is the value of reviews as I see it. :-)

I enjoyed this movie. :p

Sure, it has all the display disc qualities that Kid mentioned. It also burned the Fox animation department. So what? Just `cos morons don`t go to see it at the cinema doesn`t mean its cr*p - take Blade Runner for example.

The story beats the pants off Disney rubbish. Its not aimed at kiddies (there`s even a decent body count :D ). I found it humorous also (the guy with a horses head has the best lines in the movie).

No, I`m not a 9 year old like Kid Brunch. :D

"I enjoyed this movie. :p"

I rest my case.

Please buy the disc just for me.We`ll see you back on these forums when you want to sell/trade it off - and BOY will I laugh.

well Kid Brunch your views are pretty strong about this film being utter pish, so I`m gonna listen to you and not buy it! i would normally take a risk but not with this one.

cheers for your advice m8
