A promising idea, just badly executed
I really don't think this film deserves the 'worst film of the year' title that a lot of critics have awarded it, but I'm afraid it still is pretty poor.

The basic plot idea on paper sounds interesting and fairly unique - fantasy characters (a la Lord of the Rings) living in present day LA. The problem is it's very badly executed. Instead of being what should be a mostly fantasy film, instead it is a cop buddy film with a vague element of fantasy thrown in almost as an after thought, and which also is a little bit silly.


The humour was mostly poor and misplaced and really not funny at all, and even the action scenes were dull and boring. My other half agreed with me on this one which is unusual, as he usually likes everything.


A promising idea that was sadly squandered.

I could not put this book down as the world building and characters pulled me and held me. Though at times the plot did drag for me it did not deter my rating. This unique fantasy alternates between pov and I recommend it.

A solid fantasy with a host of secrets, challenges, politics, and fighting. I’ll be quite looking forward to the sequel!

Fantastic Story, a must read for young and old alike
Who needs sex and violence in fantasy writing? Yuk!

The Hobbit is where dreams are set alight from the moment you read it you embark on a journey that will never leave you.
