Good film;much better book!

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2002)

Whilst appreciating the restraints of turning a book into a film,I felt the film missed a lot of the atmosphere and emotion of the book ; the 'characters' were too 'pretty' and 'clean';in a way it missed the 'Magic', in it's widest sense, of the book.....it was a film for kids........not a film for everyone.
