Fascinating!

Rating: Null/10 (25 November 2001)

I hadn't read the book before going to see this, and neither had my son. As part of our agreement, he had to buy the book before he could see it, and having finally saved enough of his allowance, he was able to do both. I had no prior knowledge of the story other than what had been told to me by others. My cousin loved the stories and has read all four of them time and again. I was absolutely blown away by the movie. The costumes were rich and vibrant, the special effects were wonderful, the performances given by each actor, especially the children, were phenomenal. I cant wait to read the book now, and neither can my son.
