Short Review

In just 2 hours an amazing tale is told and a journey begins and ends. Even though the CGI from the first part of the movie is not the best, by the second part that is a no issue. Still, what matters is the plot and character development. If it had a longer runtime it would be even better, but this is not a hollywood movie so credit were credit is due.
