Well I have read both the book and seen the movie. Both had their moments.
Lots of nice visuals in the movie, missed a few stunning scenes from the book, but that was to be expected. The movie also by passed on what could prove to be a major plot point, but that I think was so as not to confuse the views who hadn’t read the book.
Things I liked. Many of the costumes, the great CGI work, the condensed story line.
Things I disliked. The bad red dye job on the villain-dude, some of the clunky speeches, and the pacing.
Major Spoiler……………………..
However, unless there is a ton of back story I am missing…. there was one production sin that is unforgivable. The Elf maid has round ears. You heard me. Round. Now I do not demand high upswept points, but come on. She is an elf, I need something more here. Sigh….

I read it and couldn’t help the fact that I felt I was reading a fan fic of sorts. It always felt like it was written by a teenager to me.
Then again, anyone that takes literary advice from me needs there head checked. (I get stoked over breakfast box stories)
4th January 2007 at 12:39 pm #77214AnonymousGuestHmmm. Not read the book or seen the film. I think this needs a pole though ๐
So, overall, did you like the film?
4th January 2007 at 2:55 pm #77215HollydaysParticipantthat’s funny Lexx – It was written by a teenager….he was 17 at the time, lol
5th January 2007 at 7:18 am #77225lexxrobotechParticipantYeah, I actuallly had heard that before I read it, so I think (in fairness) that could have played on my mind at the time, sort of making me think that the writer wasn’t that talented.
Here I am complaining about a teenager. Spot the guy 11 days and one year away from turning 30.
