Complaints that the finished product doesn't bear adequate resemblance to the source material are all too common when talking about film adaptations of comics, so I'll say no more on that subject, other than the lead is too sexy to play a character whose name translates as "Ogre Boy". To take the film on its merits, there are little of those. Whilst some scenes look almost stunning, others display the production values of a shoddily made for TV movie. Moreover, what little plot was offered resembled a wall constructed from randomly shaped and placed bricks. It isn't without it's charms though, and despite a long series of denouments, manages to be engaging for a while.
