The story just doesn't flow. It has been cut too short, probably for the kids sake. It simply doesn't work. Besides the child actors it seems like all the crew were kids. While there was action and comedy it didn't hold together. Maybe the screenplay was in srong order? The too main characters, Bikly and his friend were very good and villain better than the adult hero. As a whole I blame to movie being cut wrong. It is a mess. I hopr any 14 year old loves it though. The last battle includes fantasy for the girls, too. The coolest thing in this movie is last few seconds. The closing act. I can still see it in slow motion. 4 stars the child actors + one more for the okay villain loosing many for the cut and story
