This movie was awful. The way it tortured the book's plot line, as well as logic in general, was unacceptable. The book was fantastic and did not deserve that kind of treatment. Was the screenplay even proofread?!

The special effects were very good, I loved the design work, the actors and actresses were perfect choices (particularly Nicole Kidman as Coulter) and their performances were well done. Considering all of that in conjunction with how fantastic the original story was, I am at a complete loss as to how this movie ended up this bad.
