I thought the film was ok, the effects were good and Tom and Dakota would have been a great story..... but why oh why did they have to create such an idiotic, painfully acted and utterly pointless Character in Robbie. I like realism to a film (or at least semi realistic), but this character totally destroyed any credence for the film. He was totally unbelievable and utterly annoying. In reality, both kids would have been scared s***less, but like all American Jock types, he wants to take on the world. Totally obnoxious and even more totally pointless. Try and watch the filmand TRY to ignore the fact he's there. THE CHARACTER ROBBIE, SPOILT THE ENTIRE FILM...... shame on you Spielberg!
