Why was this made?
I read the book for this a few months ago. Even though it wasn't the greatest book, it did have a lot of good parts to it. Unfortunately, all of the best parts of the book were removed from the film, and replaced with mediocre parts, at best.In the book, there were Elves, Dwarves, Dragons, and a bit of magic. I the movie, there were no Elves, no Dwarves, the Dragon was a flying chicken (i.e. feathers, instead of scales), and the magic was lost.The acting in the movie was poor, and the plot was rather thin. You didn't get a chance to feel for any of the characters, since there was very little in character development.All in all, there isn't really anything that can be done to redeem this movie.
