Having had this book read to us in school, and having watched the T.V. series I had high expectations of this film. As a book it was good for adults and children but the movie fails to cross the bridge between the generations. The screenplay is poorly written, the characters do not develop well, and the acting is overblown and wooden. The special effects are so so. Ok for T.V. perhaps but not worthy of a feature film. I suspect most of this comes down to poor direction.
