 Strange Result
9 February 2015 | by gabrielle_1 (Montréal, QC, Canada) – See all my reviews

The movie has a great story. But let's get to the point, the rendering is terrible. The musical is unbalanced. The story gets shattered and overpowered by it. Causing it to be shortened and lacking deepness. It eats all the time frames where the story could have gone deeper into moments, background character histories, fusions between them.

I also noticed that the movies is aimed for an audience of 12 yrs old girls, so why make the characters so old? How can a little girl gets connection to them? Especially an elf with the face of a 40 years old wrinkled Jamaican pot head who wants to date a little blond teenage girl by giving her a GHB type of potion. There is something very wrong with this concept.

And the ending, I remember shaking my head and going like : Why the kaleidoscope effects? Where did that acid trip come from? Not a clue. That effect was not present before and it broke completely the consistency of the movie.

Remove that, remove half the signing, get everybody a face lift and you probably could get a decent movie. Unfortunately I doubt Disney will want to invest in making a Director's cut out of that flop. Box office sales were terrible. It's unfortunate, the idea was good. But the result was bad. Better luck with Star Wars...
