Better than remembered

Rating: 7/10 (11 September 2012)

I recently purchased this last Wednesday after being rather unimpressed by it when I saw it at the cinema and I have to say, it was better than I remember. When I first saw it in April, I wasn't too fussed by it, I felt it skimmed the book instead of going into detail and it was a fairly forgettable film. When I watched it again, it was pretty good. The setting is decent and the score is also really good(James Newton Howard, Dinosaur and Peter Pan, 'nuff said). If there is one criticism I would make about it, it would be that it doesn't go into the detail the book did. But they did what they could to remain it as a 12 and for what detail it does go into to, it's not bad. It was close to being a 15 anyway so I would have put in the depth and rate it 15, but that's my opinion. Overall, fairly decent and not the worst book-film transition I've seen.
