AAAARRRRGGGHH!!

Rating: 3/10 (24 November 2001)

OK - I'm 34 but I've read all of the books and I'm not one of these adults who rave over them. They're OK. But this movie does the book no justice at all !!
It seems to be a series of set-pieces that are weakly linked together with no explanation of HOW they are linked. Character development and background is zero and many of the best characters from the books get no more than a passing mention in the film.
But - hey - the kids love it right ? Get them to read the book though. They'll thank you for it.
