I thought it was a complete shitfest from start to finish. The biggest complaint I have is the length. The plot does not lend itself to a three hour epic. It should have been two hours at most. The first 90 minutes was a complete waste of time. Additionally, the acting was by-the-numbers (although that's more due to the redundant and tedious script), and the cg was seriously shoddy in places. I really hate excessive use of cg - Jurassic Park will still look great in another ten years, but this movie will look like fucking pacman. I hope it flops.
How could Jackson direct a movie as good as The Frighteners, and then put out this garbage?
