In addition, the performance of the actors was unnatural and awkward. It seemed that they didn’t understand their roles. For instance, Jonathan had only one expression serious and determined. Even when he finally rescued the princess, he hardly showed real happiness or relief on his face. I was really disappointed with the movie.
