Title: Dismal adaptation of a GREAT book
Product review: We all had such high hope, didn't we? The fans of Susan Cooper's famous seriesThe Dark Is Rising (Boxed Set): The Dark Is Rising, Greenwitch, Over Sea, Under Stone, Silver on the Tree, The Grey Kinghad waited so long and when we heard Walden Media of Narnia fame was making the movie we were thrilled.Sigh. To get it made, Ms. Cooper signed away her rights to halt the massive, poorly concieved changes to this beloved novel. Not only was it 'updated' to appeal to tweens, substantial alterations added up to a movie no one really liked and were sad to see. Shame on Walden media for altering a classic in the name of marketing.Read the book and act as if this film never existed. You'll feel better.
