I've been a fan of the movie for as long as I can remember. They should have spent more time working on the plot and less time hitting us with criminally boring teenage melodrama. Special effects, cinematography and Thraxus redeemed the show a little, but not enough to overcome Val Kilmer's absence, which continued to present an insurmountable obstacle. After a while it felt like a bad Scooby Doo episode. Or one of the later episodes of True Blood after they squeezed all the life out of it. I wanted adventure, not Gen-Z feelings Olympics. I really hope they bring in Jon Favreau to redeem this mess.
