<"Liam Neeson phoned in his part. A great actor totally wasted. The characters told you everything that was going to happen in the first 20 minutes, and then, by golly, that's EXACTLY what did happen."> This obviously was done to clue in the Teeny Texters who don't always watch the screen. Also because, "The Kiddies always want to know what's going to come next!!" I think I'll skip this Titan-ic delight (don't want to spoil the memories of Olivier's Aurally-Splendiferous Kracken Dispatch) and take Greg D's suggestion of riding am IMAXed 3-D animated Dragon instead.

The characters told you everything that was going to happen in the first 20 minutes, and then, by golly, that's EXACTLY what did happen. Talk about zero suspense. Except, a seer says something will happen that never happens, and it is never explained why (I think they assume the viewers will have forgotten all about it, since it happened a good 20 minutes before). And both the Cracken and the Medusa stunk, on multiple levels, and the killing of them was so unoriginal it was hard to believe.

Now that movie didn't just blow, it blew goats.....crappy, CGI animated goats. (Note to Universal....finish the f**king script before you start filming the movie.) I saw the film with a bunch of 20-something acquaintances whose taste in movies is pretty low-brow, and even they knew it was a furry piece of lycanthropic doody.. A great cast, pissed away. Did the movie make any money? It lurked around the theaters like a derelict in a raincoat for a few weeks, meaning it must have generated some sort of dough....
