Worst movie I have ever seen and will ever see. Its so-called “realistic” adaptation Is the most controversial theme during the entire film. The absence of characters, character development, humor, and music is heartbreaking. Niki Caro says how her wishes remained to make the movie as down to earth as possible yet adds ridiculous and non representational action scenes, a constant flying kite-looking Phoenix, and a owl morphing witch. The backgrounds and story line are completely off. I truly cannot have been any more disappointed.
