I was very enthusiastic about this one!!

Rating: 7/10 (11 February 2002)

...however I was left thinking that the movie just didn't compare with the richness of the book. While there were moments of great fun, I really felt it missed the feeling of the books to some extent. I am glad I saw it, and enjoyed it but couldn't help but think that those who hadn't read the books would be totally confused.
Good fun movie but read the book.
