Reviews

ReelViews -
Not great fantasy, but it's on more solid ground than "The Golden Compass" and will seem less baffling to some. There's enough here to keep adults engaged, which is an important component of any motion picture that wants to be known as "family entertainment."

Chicago Tribune -
A fast-moving adventure with more than dynamic glitz to recommend it.
|
|
San Francisco Chronicle -
A mostly superb cast, superior special effects, a sparkling musical score and a fantasy-filled plot .
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
An enjoyable adventure fantasy that pushes all the requisite buttons while still managing to throw in a pleasant surprise or two.
|
|
Variety -
A work of both modest enchantment and enchanting modesty, grounded in a classically Spielbergian realm where childlike wonderment crosses paths with the tough realities of young adulthood.
