That totally ruined it for me.Throw in the fact that Lego-Man SURFS on his friggin' board and can do impossible horse-mounting gymnastics with his freakish-elven super-arm and the movie TOTALLY threw me out of the experience, man.Oh, and the CGI sucked, too. That squid-thing in the water at Moria in FotR was terrible and i never believed there were big elephants stomping people...  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />Plus I could even SEE in RotK when they showed the stand-ins for the actors that made them look smaller. How lame - stupid movie.And Ladyhawke?!Man, that brain-rattling 80's synth soundtrack destroys that movie completely. Renders it unwatchable. I'm surprised you don't need Nurse Ratched to perform a brain operation to remove your memories of it, man. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />And Princess BRIDE?!?Dude, ANY movie that has a main character called Princess BUTTERCUP should be forgotten ASAP. It made me have a jeering laugh every single time I heard it.And come on - ROUS's? How STUPID. I could totally tell they were just guys in suits walking on all 4's.And that dumb effect where they set the Giant on fire - that wasn't nearly impressive or frightening enough to make 60 trained guards leave their posts!And why didn't Wesley use his "dizzying intellect" all thru the film? Like not go into pirate-patrolled waters in the first place?Oh, and the Giant's 'rhymes' sucked, too. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />[/sarcasm]-----------------I could go on, but I hope I've made my point.All fantasy fans have had to overlook certain aspects of movies (and books, etc) to enjoy them - it's part and parcel of the whole "larger than life" genre that we like to see.I really am disheartened when people grow up and forget to give fantasy material the slightest break, or worse - use every possible non-perfect thing as a sledgehammer by which to ignore the many things that are done right in a work, just to sound 'hip', disapproving and bitingly sarcastically edgy funny.</blockquote>
