Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2005)

This was a great film.
The plot was good, of course, being based on a great novel. The acting was spectacular, especially Dakota Fanning's performance. The effects were impressive, but they didn't rule the entire film. In most of the scenes, it was the performance of the actors that gave it its intensity. I was very impressed. This is definitely worth seeing. I wouldn't pay attention to anyone who says it isn't worth it; you'd be missing out. I'll keep this short so as to not ruin anything for those of you unfamiliar with the story. Suffice it to say I highly recommend it.
