I really enjoyed the way Andrew and his team were able to capture the feel of the story in this film. The acting was superb and the special effects were (for the most part) mindblowing. The only flaws I can remember were just minor such as, some lighting problems on a few scenes. Now if I was directing I would include more preparation, training, of the children before the battle scene. But over all this film was great! I left the theatre wishing they had made it three or four hours long, and it still hasn't lost much of the magic that I felt that first time I saw it. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.
