The movie did seem a little rushed compared to the book (it compacted 10 chapters in the 2 1/2 hours), but as a stand alone movie I thought it was pretty good. The scenery is beautiful in the movie as well! I would go see it again!:)
Me and my husband loved this movie and would definitely want to go and try and see it again! We also liked the ideas behind the story, it was pretty original all the ideas within the movie and the graphics were pretty Awesome! We would buy this movie when it comes out on DVD. This movie is of course along the lines of like a Sci-Fi/Fantasy movie, so if you don't like those type of movies, then I wouldn't recommend it.
