I found Krabat to be rather disappointing. I expected something better after reading some extremely positive reviews on here. And it's not because of the German language, which is a nasty aggressive language to listen to by the way, but more because of the plot that wasn't that interesting to follow. I do like fantasy and tales, but sometimes it's just not there. Krabat lacks of good entertaining scenes and even if the acting wasn't bad I never got completely into the story. I read that the book was better, maybe I should have done that instead of watching this movie.
