Yeah this is cool, this is totally awesome *sings*

I'm just back from watching The Legend of the Guardians and have to say that I'm more than positively surprised. Actually, I came out of this movie really, really excited and happy and inspired. I've been craving a nice, well-done fantasy-movie for a while and well, here it was.

If you can get past the fact that it's all about owls (and you will, quickly), then it's a wonderful classical, sometimes dark heroic tale. Predictable, too, but that didn't bother me in the least because it was told so wonderfully. And the visuals, oh, they are stunning. The pictures alone are beautiful, but this is actually one of the few movies where 3D is really worth the money. Only the slo-mo scenes were a little too much sometimes, but that's Zack Snyder for you.

Now I only need to make up my mind, whether I want to buy the German version of the books (hardcover, hence horrendously expensive) or the English one (which I couldn't share with a friend who'd want to read them as well, but isn't so fit in English). Hum.


Other things I'm watching and excited about: The Odyssey, a Canadian TV show from the early 90ies. ( Some gushing. )
