It was great.

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2003)

That's all there is to say. It'll never be as good as the books, but it came damn close. They picked three great kids for the leads, and did a good job with the other roles as well. As far as how the story translated to the big screen, well, obviously, some parts recived more or less attention than in the book, and the same applies to characters. But overall, it was great!
