Notes

My quick rating - 6,5/10. After years of wanting to make this movie, Peter Jackson finally had time, and the clout to get the budget for this visual film. I cannot call it a masterpiece because it does fall short of that, but it still looks great. The story itself is a bit more involved than cities driving around the planet overtaking each other. There also is a sprinkle of a love story, and that of the young girls strange upbringing that lead her to seek revenge on Londons "master" I can see there was a lot more to this story that Jackson wanted to squeeze in, but just couldn't. Still it was better than it was received in theaters, and very worth a watch.
