The movie was really good! It's a three hour movie, but it doesn't drag of the flow of a good story line. It reminded me of Goonies (old school), Indiana Jones, and Jurassic Park all rolled into one big fantastic movie.... Full review

Where oh where did it all go wrong? You had a $200 million budget, special effects wizards up the wazoo and Peter "LOTR" Jackson directing a bona fide classic that could only benefit from a modern retelling. However, the end... Full review

I agree with most of you that the effects were spectacular, but judging a film on this single criterion makes one a shallow viewer. You must judge the story on its completeness, the characters must be judged for their depth... Full review
