4.7 / 5

I don't like reading long reviews of movies so i'll make this one short. If you are a fan of the book (like me) this will be a sweet sweet X-mas gift. Its like reliving the book again. If you have never read the book but show interest in fantasy films like "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" this will be a nice refreshment from other fantasy films. Even tho it is PG is has the maturity and realisim of a fully devolped world. Its not just movie for the kids, so catch while you can in theaters.
