## Key points

- The article argues that ten fantasy films squander their imaginative worlds.
- *The Dark Tower* is criticised for compressing a vast mythology into about 95 minutes.
- *Eragon* is faulted for rushing key character and dragon development.

## Summary

The article criticises ten fantasy films for wasting the imaginative potential of the genre, arguing that they ask viewers to invest in invented worlds without making those worlds or their characters compelling. It says the films either rush through their stories or mishandle the source material, leaving little emotional depth or sense of wonder.

Examples include *The Dark Tower*, which compresses Stephen King’s extensive mythology into roughly 95 minutes, and *Eragon*, which hurries past the bond between its hero and dragon. The article also begins its discussion of *Dragonball Evolution*, objecting to its American high-school makeover of Akira Toriyama’s creation; the supplied text ends before the full list is shown.
