Title: Disappointing
Product review: This movie may have been fine for someone who was not a fan of the books. I rented this to watch with my son as a reward for getting through all five books. Long story short, the film only marginally approaches the original story from the book series. It was a major disappointment for me. I really shouldn't be surprised considering almost every other film adaptation of a beloved story ends up being a disappointment. This one was particularly egregious. I don't get it. You don't have to write an original story. You have an instant hit and all you need to do is put it to film. Just follow the story as written. If you want to create art, go write an original story. If you are putting some other author's work to film, tell the author's story.
