great modern fairy tale

Rating: 8/10 (2 August 2009)

This film excited me very much before hand and i wasn't disappointed.
A great adaptation of the novel which sits perfectly for children and adults alike, a must see for families.
The leading roles are superb, especially Clare Danes and Robert De Niro's funny cameo.
The direction was seamless. The story had great pace and the CGI was very well executed (didn't think about it once during the movie).
Comedy, action, fear and thrills are in abundance here.
If you like fairy tale adventures this is a must. if you think you don't this may change your views.
