Rating: Null/10 (28 November 2001)

Being a huge fan of the book , I had a lot of expectations for this
film. Unfortunately, Chris Columbus ignored the wonderful
narrative qualites and dark vision of the book and made a big
splashy special effects film. The acting of all the adults was
wonderful especially Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman. The child
actors were however suprisingly flat and too cute. A movie
centered entirely around child characters needs strong actors
otherwise it falls apart. The special effects are wonderful but the
movie has no soul.
