I watched this movie last night. The beginning of it was great because it showed how imaginative children can be (one thing I love about kids).
THEN THE FRIGGIN GIRL DIES. WHAT?! Talk about a friggin buzzkill! It's like "look how great having an imagination can be boys and girls...but remember....reality is a mother fucker.
Then at the end they start showing all these awesome characters...and I mean like...in the last 5 minutes. Um....why are you just showing these now?
I didn't read the book so I have nothing to compare it to. So...I'm glad I watched the movie, it wasn't a total loss...but just not what I expected.
