Spiderwick Chronicles Review

+about. Upon moving into the run-down Spiderwick Estate with their mother, twin brothers Jared and Simon Grace, along with their sister Mallory, find themselves pulled into an alternate world full of faeries and other creatures. imdb//trailer

+my opinion. This film was fantastic! I haven't read the books, but still managed to understand it perfectly and it went at just the right pace. Of course, having not read the books then I have no way of knowing what I missed (I will read them someday though, lol). It was very scary and not at all predictable, I'll even admit that I was sucked in by a false ending! And the real ending was hilarious and completely unexpected! Freddie Highmore was yet again fantastic - in fact if I didn't know who he was I never would have guessed that he was playing both twins! This was a very cool movie, the acting was spot on and the effects were incredible!

+qotf. Fly as you want. Griffin! I swallowed an ogre whole. You could be next! -- Hogsquel
