It's alright..

Rating: 5/10 (10 November 2013)

Cute actors and great acting, but the plot lacks a lot of work. Never have read the novel, however, I can guarantee it is better than the film. The film adaption seemed like it would need a lot more work since the obstacles that stood in the central character's way seemed very minimal.. As if everything was being spoon fed to him, all of what he encountered did not struck me as difficult. Born being the chosen one, made all of his qualities seem less impressive. The ending as well, was slightly disappointing. It was very sudden, and I simply cannot grasp around the idea that the entire defence department would bring a group of children to assisst another child who they believed to be a mastermind. Nevertheless, wonderful effects used in the movie, and great acting by Asa Butterfield and the others, I see bright futures in store for them all in the future.
