Expected to see a kiddie movie, was instead delighted!

Rating: Null/10 (24 February 2002)

I have never read the books and had no interest in them, but my children wanted to see the movie, so I took them. I expected to see a kiddie show, a cute fairy tale about cuddly little creatures and the like, but was I ever surprised. The movie was wonderful and held my interest throughout. Good chracters, comprehensive plot even to someone unfamiliar with the books, great FX! I can't wait to see the next two. (And as a Star Wars fan, I can see where Lucas got some of his ideas.)
