Tagline: Saving the world is a hell of a jobRated PG13 for violence, sci-fi action and language
There's so much magical and mythical characters in this yet another comic book adaptation that I can barely catch up. Just the CGI and the various amusing characters alone have won me over. The humour and non-stop action plus a slight tinge of love turmoils which gives the characters some life is a total bonus.
It doesnt matter whether you are familiar with the characters, because director Guillermo del Toro (of Pan's Labrynth (2006), Blade II (2002) and Mimic (1997) fame) will develop the important characters accordingly, giving the story a nice and seamless flow. Somehow, I can't help but associate the fighting moves of the wayward villian Prince Nuada (Luke Goss of the once famous pop group Bros) with Chinese Kung Fu, much akin to the movements of the Monkey God in the The Forbidden Kingdoms.
Recommended for watching in the theaters even if it's just for the hi-tech CGI that brings the multitude of characters alive, the special audio and visual effects and the facinating fighting scenes.
