Different from the book but perfect for the movie

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2003)

It deviated from the book a bit and left out some stuff I was looking forward to but it was perfect for the movie. The first movie left out a lot from the book that I felt SHOULD have been left out. I think Peter Jackson did an excellent job with the whole series. I never even watched the first one until a week before the 2nd one came out because I thought for sure it was never going to live up to the books. Well it did! Almost all the changes were right on the money and the story and dialog follow the movie very well. For all the haters out there they need to look at The Cat in the Hat and see just how bad it could have been and thank PJ for something that I will be proud to show my children. They will still have to read the books first!
