People are too hard on this movie.

Rating: 6/10 (22 May 2006)

People are being way too critical of this movie. I have to admit I expected a little better but it's still decent. It is fairly entertaining.
The movie is more entertaining then the book but not as good as it obviously cannot obtain quite as much depth. It is not as good a book franchise adaption as the Harry Potter movies.
The best way to describe this movie is a shorter, somewhat more rushed version of the book. People who describe this movie as too boring and dialogue heavy obviously haven't bothered with the book. The movie succeeds fairly well in terms of acting performance.
