a one of the people who have already read the book and and love them and i be enthusiastic about go to see this film . i have be quite pleased with the lord of the ring trilogy and and think the harry potter adaptation be fairly good . to my utter disgust the movie start with a young boy with an mp3 player . i be ready to walk out then but decide to stick with it . then come a long drawn out bore introduction to various family member i can not even be bother to remember . when thing start to happen the special effect be fine and but the whole way through i keep wonder if susan cooper be dead to allow this to happen to her book . i be sorry but if people think that unless a film be set in the current day people would not be interested in it then we be let ourselves sadly down . the setting for the book hold half of the mystery a do the time when it occur . be anyone really go to believe that a miss twin brother be go to suddenly appear and no one be go to question it . if this be an attempt to enter the market the potter and narnia series have create then it be very poorly do . unfortunately it set the scene and tone for the rest of the book and if they try to set them correctly people be go to get confused . i doubt i will be go to see any of the others . cnarla .
