Read the book, leave the movie to children.

Rating: 4/10 (11 October 2010)

If you read the book and then watch this movie, you will be very very disappointed. So my review is affected by the fact that i first read the book, which by the way, is an exceptional one. Maybe if i first saw the movie the reaction would be otherwise. Indeed as i read in other comments, it's a family movie, children will enjoy it. Acting wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. My advice: if you read the book, don't watch this movie, unless it's for your kid. If you haven't read the book, watch the movie, then read it, and you will appreciate it even more. I saw the movie only recently, i was pleasantly surprised to recognize actors from series like Rome or Spartacus, but i totally did not expect that this movie was made in 2007. I mean seriously while watching this movie i had the impression i was watching a 90's movie.
