You can't better a good book!

Rating: 5/10 (2 December 2014)

The subject of WW2 always seems to work. The bad and evil Germans against the world! Add the innocence of kids into the equation and you should be able to come up with a decent enough story. The book was indeed very enjoyable. The movie not so much.
The look and feel is pretty lame. Everything is far too neat, from the costumes, to the decorations, and the dialogs. It feels as though the characters are robots and stripped of any human traits. No, it has got nothing to do with portraying the Nazis! the kids are just as lame!
To keep it short, i'd say: if you have read the book, do not bother watching this. If you haven't, you may enjoy it as it's a fresh approach to the Nazis subject...
