    Rated - 3 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Lost the magic.

    I read the book of this when it was released and enjoyed it somewhat but wasn't blown away by it.

    The film was worse...it's a typical case of..your own imagination is better than what they can bring to screen...

    There just seemed to be less magic than I remembered..and I thought the villain (Capricorn) was crap.

    Anyway...this film will probably be better if you haven't read the book. If you have read the book? You might be disspointed.
