I don't understand the positive reviews for this film. I especially cannot fathom Roger Ebert anymore, who ten years ago was so dead-on accurate in his ups and downs. Is it age? Is it Siskel's death? Did Ebert ever raise kids?
My five year old enjoyed this, but she enjoys going to the movies with Dad and the older kids, particularly on rainy days when the parks are all wet. Two thriteens, one 12, and one ten year old quietly sufferred thru this mild nightmare and looked for the better spots.
This is a dumb film with a dumb script. The special effects suffer from the fact that they are blatantly obviously non-real visual effects. They lose the thread of credibility needed to bring the audience in. The ridiculous storyline and the bad guy becomes good guy (straight out of the WWF no-less!) plot makes this a hopeless film. After the Toy Story's, Tarzan, Lion King, Emporer's Groove and Ants, I guess Hollywood figured that if the Japaneese can make money inflicting sufferring on parents (Pokemon), then why can't they too.
Writer's strike coming up? Are they hiring scabs, by any chance? Quality would go up.
