I thought the movie was fantastic! Very entertaining and gut wrenching at the same time....I love these sort of fantasy films because when done right, they totally make you feel as if a magical world does exist....I laughed, I cried and even screamed...it was great! Can't wait for the next installment and if there was anything I had to gripe about, it would be that there needs to be more of Aslin...I know it is based on a book so however much time he is in the book is what one has to work with, but he makes it so much more interesting and fun...I will say I am not sure if it is suitable for young children but definitely fun for the older kids, maybe -8 and up...and please leave your babies at home.....overall a great followup to the first film...
