disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (16 November 2001)

I was very disappointed in this movie. The books are so incredible and the movie had huge potential. Unfortunately, it was both too long and too short. I didn't feel like the movie flowed together very well and there was still a lot cut out of the book. If they were going to cut out so much from the book then they should have made a nice smooth movie that told the same story, without trying to include things in the book that were "cool". There was too much jumping from scene to scene and not enough plot. If you hadn't read the book, the movie would not make much sense in the end. I think the books are great for people of all ages, but the movie is simply a kids story. It just didn't come together the way it should have.
