So yeah, as a SFX spectacular it was ok, as a story it was pretty forgettable.
I thought the creatures looked awful. It was okay when you only caught glimpses of them.....but once you started seeing a lot of them, it took away from the film, in my opinion.
But I admit, I might have been more forgiving of that fact had I not went into the film REALLY wanting to see the book done justice. It COULD have been great, and like I said, it started out promisingly enough. But the last few minutes were just....bad.
