David M @RT34351537 1d If I could give this film 0 stars I would … suppose it gets half a star because there’s a touching scene with Andrew Garfield at the end but honestly I’d skip this movie…. See more Elle R @RT75982024 2d As others have said, if you like the original story then don’t watch this. Or watch this as a stand alone, with little expectation it will match up to the imaginary world of the original. I don’t know why they sought to modernise this classic in the way they did. It had so much potential to be whimsical and amazing, but it was borderline deranged in casting and design. Parts of the casting and costumes reminded me of the hunger games. Admittedly in the earlier part of the movie there were a few funny one liners. The rest was a disappointment.

Characters should have been as they are described in the books, via cgi or something, not fully grown adults dressed in costume - felt more pantomime than movie. Also the attitude of the children in the books are great from the get go - WiFi kids just didn’t uphold the foundations of the personalities in the books.

The story is fascinating and the actors did a great job of making its heartwarming message come through. The costume design and makeup are also beautiful, capturing that enchanting storybook look. We had a great time watching it together. See more Les N @Vegas628 Jun 5 The characters at the end saved it. See more Read all reviews
