Haven’t read the book, certainly an excellent fantasy movie, loved it the first time I saw it. Asa Butterfield a bit wooden at times but also showing the vulnerability of his Jake character very well. The peculiar kids are great, all of them giving excellent performances. Lots of CGI, and a few scary scenes. And yes, a bit of ridiculousness towards the end, but in a funny and entertaining way (it’s Tim Burton after all). Thumbs up!

FIVE stars -Pure magic..I didn't know there was a book, so my view is strictly on the magic of the movie...great animation/CGI, diverse characters, and it just captured my attention.

It was an enjoyable movie reminiscent of classic storytelling and fantasy. It possessed an engaging subject that proves entertaining to both children and adults alike. It's purely magical and is well worth seeing.

Great movie..great story..great fantasy with lots of wonderful lessons and tender moments. Whether you have kids, grandkids..or not. Go see it. Great fun!. Maybe a little scarry at times but my 7 yr old had not problems and loved it..as did the 13 yr old. the kind of movie youngers should be watching these days and not all that other heavy violent and rude stuff out there.
