What is going on with the dialogue?


Ok, I watched this movie expecting it to be a quality indie flick but half-way through the movie I just stopped watching it, which is not normal for me at all. In my opinion, the dialogue is out-of-place and ridiculous. I understand what the director was trying to do with the dialogue. But this film came out in 2006 and the characters were still in high school, I cannot believe that anyone in high school acted nor talked like this in 2006. I'm sorry; I really am. I hate to criticize a movie that everyone loves so much but the dialogue for me was just too unbelievable.

I aplaud discourse and abhor discourse-challenged trolls.

It certainly didn't help the verisimilitude.

As far as fantasy goes, I prefer high fantasy. The urban variety leaves me cold.
