An excellent fairy tale

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2011)

So, I went to the movie after watching the trailer several times. I wasn't sure what to expect, since from the trailers, it looks like a "monster-attacking" movie, but I thought they wouldn't use kids as main characters if it's just like that.
So, anyways, after about half an hour, I realized that this is going to be a good movie (or at least the type of movie that I will enjoy). The reason is, first, there is a fair amount of character building, which I think is always a key element of good movie. Second, the performance of these kids are amazing, especially the girl (you will see when you watch it). And also, the music gives this movie a big boost.
You will probability say some of the scene doesn't make sense, like, "I will never do this", or, "how can he do that", that might drag you away for a couple of second from enjoying it. That's why I would rather call this movie a fairy tale (with a lot of modern filming technologies). It actually recalls me when I watched "Stand by me" a while ago, it is really just watching these kids doing their adventure and you feel like you are a kid again.
I guess I said enough about it, you have to watch it yourself. But if you expect this to be a summer blockbuster with a lot of monsters and explosions, this might not be the right movie for you. I'm just a movie goer, I watch all kinds of movies and I enjoyed this one. I think it's this summer's best one up to now. It would be a good movie for a family to watch too.
