The concept was interesting, especially the idea of flawed readings, but the story became lame really fast, the chief symptom being the villain's lame name. Actually, many names were lame - Capricorn, Dustfinger, etc. Bad harbinger of things to come.The movie itself was surprisingly tedious and unexciting. The climactic battle was no exception, and the scene of Elinor riding out on a unicorn was far from awe-inspiring; it looked silly. And a plot point there didn't make sense - Meggie starts reading something that's not in the book, then forgets that she could do that and has to actually write on her arm.I appreciate the author's intent of making books attractive and interesting, but if this is the kind of movie that comes from books, it's a lost cause.
