having read the book, i didn't expect the movie to be amazing and accurate, cause that's never the case when they turn a book into a movie. It was kinda and had it's awkward parts, but so did the movie; so i expected it to be weird. The actors weren't bad, but the actual production of the movie wasn't great. I was actually able to see the strings tugging on the top of the actors' shirts when they were jumping from tree to tree in the woods. but overall it was a good movie, go see it! :)
