Agreed. Even if they hadn't advertised it as an epic adventure, it had so much potential to be one that the meaning of the story is lost. If they wanted to do a mother/daughter bonding movie, they should have followed through with that, but instead they mixed in Getting Crap Past the Radar and scenes where they ALMOST fight the bear. The triplets were the worst characters IMO, they did nothing to the story and had no personality besides being chaotic troublemakers. You can't tell them apart, which is kind of sad because they could have been three subtly different characters even if they were similar, but instead it's just annoying little brother stereotypes in three instead of one character.
This is a review? :|
I agree actually. I enjoyed the film, but I expected her to go on a grand adventure across the country! Like all the fantasy books I loved as a kid! But they hardly went any damn where! I mean, damn. They basically stayed in their own backyard.
The CGI was stunning, the characters, interesting, but the landscape and countryside were woefully empty. There seemed like there was no one in the kingdom but them.
It is what it is.
But this still isn't really a review.

Sleeper, hold the hit.
I can't recall another film I have been as mind numbingly bored watching as this one. The dialogue, characters, and plot are so unexciting that it was almost physically painful to watch.
Part of this may be because the trailer promised an entirely different film—an epic adventure, with a protagonist with character. Instead, I found a soap opera, with characters as flat and charmless as a cardboard cutout.
The king was the one exception to this, a diamond in the rough. But can't fix the lack of inspiration this clearly suffered from.
