New York Daily News
The special effects work fine for minor acts of magic, but the climactic aerial dragon fight is lame, and most of the performances are at the level of high school plays. - 50
Philadelphia Inquirer
Much of the dialogue is the silliest sort of fantasy mush, and a good deal of the picture appears to have been shot while the lighting guys were out to lunch. - 50
Boston Globe
A mildly entertaining but tepid extravaganza more suited to television than the big screen. - 25

The audience has already checked out, long before the formulaic finish. - 20

Good intentions, bad writing. - 10

This fantasy crap, fake-o effects and all, betrays princes of dice, masters of graph and wielders of bong. - 10

Take this as a warning: it's not much fun.
