i be beside myself with glee when i first heard of this movie . the book it be base on have be a book i have read and reread as well a give to child and adult alike over the year . so i be horribly disappoint at the change make in this adaptation . key element leave out and characterization gutted and the mythos it be base on trivialized . after such great adaptation a lotr and narnia and the potter book to see this classic ruin be a sad sight . the book concept depend on british folktale and legend ( arthurian base ) and the movie seem to have toss that aside in an attempt to woo american audience . the family be change and leave out the close knit structure that be the basis of the story . don not see this movie . don not let your kid see this movie . do yourselves a favor and read the book . someday someone will make this movie with an eye to the source material .
