I started watching the movie with an open mind, I had not read the books nor any reviews of the movie. My first impression was that Gad looked like a mini-Rubeus Hagrid. While he is a great Olaf, he was a terrible narrator for this story. They needed someone more mystical and serious rather then a buffoon like teller. And this miscast streamed through the entire movie. It had so much potential and Shaw was pretty good but when they realized it wasn't working, they should not have released but reworking it once again. What a shame.
