I have no idea how this movie has 8 stars! You know when a film feels like 8 hours long it's bad and it was indeed a very long and depressing 3 hours. I love fantasy but the story and the way it's told is so poor.

I'm not sure about anyone else but I go to the cinema for fun and enjoyment and this whole film is brutal cruelty and injustice without much happiness to make it worthwhile.

What is a shame is they have created the amazing world and amazing special effects but then it becomes self indulgent with long spells of underwater scenes that drag.

Trying to think of some positives, but I just found the whole experience painful and a disappointment. In hindsight I would have paid double my ticket price not to see it and waste an evening!

So disappointing and you would think with all the talented people in the world the industry could do sooo much better.
