Three Hours Never Went So Fast!

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

I have read the books and the movie was no disappointment! Even at 3 hours, much of the book had to be omitted. If you have not read the book do not despair. All the background information you need to understand the plot is nicely explained in the movie.
The characters were wonderfully portrayed. Having read the book I recognized each of the nine instantly. It is obvious that a lot of people who love the books were involved with making the movie. I won't say this is the best movie ever made but it is one of the best!
This is not a movie for young children. There are some very intense scenes that justify the PG-13 rating.
