Sorry to say that - I am truly disappointed...

Rating: 4/10 (30 September 2002)

I really enjoyed reading the books, and I like being captivated by good narration - but this movie did not even come close to expressing all the magic that was in the story. The movie just felt bland, like sipping water and longing for an extraordinary Chardonnay - I don't know how else to put it. This movie just does not work.
