This was another great step in the series, especially considering the limitations inherited from the first movie. Action sequences and special effects were exciting. The plot followed the book very closely, though not exactly. Overall, I was very pleased.
My family and I loved this movie. The beginning was a little slow and hard to follow for my boys (6 and 2), but once the main part of the story started they were completely engaged. I loved the visual aspect. The transitions from live action to computer generated animation were seemless. The speed was insane!
