I saw DARK CRYSTAL Friday night in Princeton, NJ. DARK CRYSTAL is a visually stunning movie. Henson and Oz have outdone themselves in this respect. The detail is remarkable... Unfortunately, there is very little plot. So little, in fact, that it would be impossible for me to post a spoiler. In a fantasy film, I expect a battle, a fight, or a conflict. I expect a gallant, brave, or intelligent hero/heroine. No such luck. The characters plod along their assigned destinies, controlled by a "prophecy" of long ago. I saw no real motivation in the actions of many of the characters. So, I give this film a very mixed review. If you enjoy highly visual films, see it. If you can't bear fantasy without plot, don't see it. Jim McParland BTL - Holmdel hou5e!jjm
