Entertaining and worth watching

Rating: 7/10 (17 July 2018)

I was putting off watching this because mainly of the heavy special effects (mostly CGI for the duration of the film) but once I put it on it definitely kept my attention.
While long at 140 minutes it doesn't feel like it as there is never a dull moment. The film moves quickly along and the cgi is so well done that after a while you don't even think of it ( I generally prefer live action).
I never read the book (and don't plan to) so I can't compare the two but if you're looking for something good to watch this is it. Great action (both CGI and live action), great acting, story, just overall a well put together movie.
Would have gotten a higher rating from me if it weren't for a few minor quirks and the somewhat sappy ending.
