Fantastic adaptation of the book

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2009)

I took my whole family to see this movie last night, and everyone was in love with this movie. My two boys, aged 13 and 11, had both read the book and this is the first movie adaptation of a book that they were not disappointed with. The work was amazingly creative and a joy to watch.
Definitely not a "little kid" movie, but quite suitable, I believe, for over 10 years old. The theater I saw the movie in did not have the 3-D support, and I think it was just as well, I don't get the new trend toward 3D, and it probably would have made it scarier.
The claymation in the movie was a lot richer than the CGI films of recent times, but it was a bit choppy at times.
