    The movie was good, but not as interesting as I expected... And maybe a bit too scary for little kids...

    I wasn't drawn in by the story, falling asleep once, and barely staying with it during the second viewing. The voice cast for the creatures is well-selected, but the story itself is out there and the movie moves a little fast to introduce so much back story. The acting is fine, although the Freddie Highmore playing twins bit feels a bit old-fashioned nowadays, and Mary-Louise Parker probably isn't winning an Oscar for her performance as the flat mother character. I'm sure the book is better than this, although that's not to say the movie is a poor effort, just not up to the level I'm looking for in my fantasy film selections.

    I thought it was an interesting movie. I liked the concept. All my kids enjoyed it and it wasn't too scary even for the 3 year old.

    You'd be missing out on a good movie if you listen to Richard Roeper's review from the show, same goes for the review of his friend. They both don't know what they are talking about.

    very good movie. they changed a lot from what is in the books, but if you do not take the books into account then the movie was really great!

    I admit it was good but it is not like the books. It has some stuff from the books but its all twisted and different and they added stuff. I wish they would just have stuck to the books and not changed it so much.
