Dreadful Movie . give it a WIDE Berth .
I read the previous review but decided to watch it once it arrived, I wish I hadn't !
Watched 20 minutes to give it time to settle but it was awful and pressed the eject button straight away !
So slow and boring and no real point to what was happening.
This is the first time for years we have stopped watching a DVD, although the 2nd Disc of The Endless ran it a close 2nd !
The trailer for this gives completely the wrong impression of the film, which is probably why some people don't like it. It's sold as a Harry Potter-type adventure which it absolutely IS NOT, and it's not for little kids. It's a coming of age fantasy along the lines of A Monster Calls, Pan's Labyrinth or The Iron Giant. It's about loneliness, loss and teenage friendship, with a great central performance from Madison Wolfe. It's a wonderful film but don't watch it expecting to see little kids fight giants, because it's not that.
