Ratings and reviews

I really disliked this movie because it was very hard going....me and my friends were totally bored during the movie and ended up leaving it-we are all big movie heads. if it was somewhat intresting we would have stayed. this movie is not suitable witg the younger generation!

Yeah this film didin't really follow the book but it's still good. Could be a little more interesting though, not much going on. I would recommend it very much though.

It was a good movie but honestly I was disappointed because I love the book so much and the movie didn't meet my expectations. Definitely not as good as the story but still a nice film.
