thedirector212
from New York
I went into this film openminded and a bit excited. I took my newly turned 13yr old daughter. We'd both read the book, at different times in our childhood, and were really curious about how it was going to be brought to the screen (her curiosity was a bit more basic) I wasn't completely disappointed in the story. And I wasn't let down by the darker nature of the film, afterall, there is a darkness to the book, its about monsters, for crying out loud. But what I wasn't over pleased with was how it seemed unresolved. And the ending seemed forced.
But overall, it wasn't a waste, and I enjoyed how the director kept the whimsy, even while using a darker set of crayons to paint this picture.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
