Great movie

Rating: 9/10 (30 May 2006)

Great movie! It's a little slow moving but it sets up for future events with ease and tends to go along with the book a lot better than most of the book based movies lately. The character's backgrounds could be better and more vividly described but overall I'd have to say Ron Howard did an excellent job taking the characters from the pages and placing them on the movie screen. The actors that were chosen to play the roles of the characters were almost flawless in how they interpreted a particular character's thoughts, feelings, and personality. Overall I'd have to say that if you have a tough time really following the overall scheme of the movie you should probably just see Over the Hedge instead.
