I've never read the books so can't say anything about that side of things, but my 5 and 11 year olds enjoyed it. Feels rushed esp the 2nd half and could have been much better with a longer running time which is a change as a lot of movies sooner at kids go on to long in my opinion. Sets up the inevitable sequel and I'm sure I'll end up watching that with them. Hopefully it'll be an improvement. Some really nice acting from some of the cast. Thought the girl who plays Holly was very good. My kids favorite!
