The movie was pretty good they were missing some parts that were important to the story plot, and the ending needed some work. They cut out the most climatic scene of the movie. There could have been more work with the silent spells which was mostly what this book was about lesson wise. However the effects were good and it kept me glued to the screen. If you recently read the book you might be a little disappointed but if you haven't then it would be a blast to watch.
