The worst thing about "Walking with Dinosaurs" is that even though it has been handled about as badly as can be for reasons that I cannot begin to fathom, it will most likely do well at the box office during the holiday season because of the near-universal hold that dinosaurs have on the imaginations of the children who make up the majority of its target audience. Little kids will probably like it because it is bright and colorful (though far less so if you partake in the 3-D version) and simple to grasp but let's face it, one could say pretty much the exact same thing about the likes of "The Smurfs 2."
For anyone over the age of 8 or so, it cannot help but come across as silly at best and downright condescending at worst and towards the end, most of them may be silently rooting for a comet to arrive and put an end to the whole sorry spectacle. "Walking with Dinosaurs" is a film that should have been entertaining and informative in equal measure in theory but in practice, it is basically one Gazoo shy of a lesser "Flintstones" rerun.
