| RATING: | 40% |
| FORMAT: | DVD |
Overly-imaginative, over-long and anti-romantic stylized fantasy that seeks to compensate for its thin rendering of the beauty-and-the-beast myth with impressive visuals. These contradict the theme of inner beauty being equal to outer with computer-generated effects that focus obsessively on the outer.
Naomi WATTS is excellent, but cannot save a film that is trying - in typical Hollywood fashion - to have its cake and eat it.
