    We watched it at the weekend hoping for good things and it was plain awful. They managed to make the lead characters utterly unlikeable and I'd love to know how much they had to pay extra to get Dame Judi to say that line. Hard to believe that it's a Kenneth Brannagh flick.

    My daughter says that during the scene where the giant is smashing the house the Artemis character is older in some scenes, they must have had to reshoot after the test screening, would explain some of the continuity errors

    Ill go against the grain and say I enjoyed it.
    Watched it a, second time, with the kids who also enjoyed it.

    Loved the David Bowie reference to Labrynth.

    If you haven't read the book would the slaughter of the movie be as bad? I've seen a few movies that I enjoyed that people are really critical about because it didn't lavishly stick to the book, it's not being taken as a standalone movie. Or is it just ****?

    I read the first book when it first came out, purely because of it's author being Irish, and it sounded like it might be good fun- it wasn't bad; silly, obviously, but fun. Read the second, but quickly saw it was a one-trick pony, so didn't bother after that. It sounds like much of the humour has been dropped, and consequently much of its charm. With the lead lacking charm also, it sounds a little too po-faced to be of much interest for many, particularly those who may have liked the books. It might have been one to watch with the kids, but not with these reviews, books read or not:
