Each for their own but I can't help but feel like this movie is a mess. There are parts I love and there are parts that make me cringe. My strongest memory from when I first saw this movie is the scene where Hen Wen is captured by the dragon like creatures. And to this day it's still the most affective scene for me. It's pacing is great and fills the tension very nicely.

My main issue to enjoy this movie fully is the character development on the heroes. Taran comes off as a very ignorant and mouthy child. We're supposed to root for this character but with the lack of any real background or motive depsite his cries of becoming a warrior there's not much to take from him. I couldn't stand seeing Eilonwy being all sassy and make herself look like she knew what was best for Taran while she had only known him for like a day. She bosses around a lot but she doesn't actually do anything more than just follow on Taran's trails. Was that scene really neccesary where Fflam is bounced around as a frog?

I blame Katzenberg for this after what I read since there might have been scenes that actually made sense for the characters suddenly acting differently in certain scenes.

If your a person who doesn't care much about character development but love fast paced movies, then surely this movie will do fine. And it's not a bad movie it's just very flawed. However that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy it.

But for someone like me I'd expect more after Ive seen the potential it had to be of something grander.
