Parts of it were great , other parts were rather boring.

Rating: 4/10 (16 October 2007)

I saw this in theaters only because of my mother, who wouldn't let me stay home. Though I knew it looked stupid, I still gave it a chance(as I give all movies). The beginning of the movie was amazing, very wonderfully done, though after that it just started going downhill. The movie was very faithful to the book, which can work as an advantage or a dis-advantage, in this case it was the latter. There was not a rising plot, there was a lot of fluff, the action scenes weren't built up, though the aftermath was clear. I felt some of the actors were rather wooden. The one part that I really liked was the beginning with the air raid(it was very well done, as I said earlier).
