I went to see The Spiderwick Chronicles with my family and each and every one of us loved it. The adventure and the mystery that make up the film keep you hanging on until you find out what happens next. I have read the Spiderwick books and absolutely loved them as well as the film
Great Film

I have seen so many kids films and thought this stood out as brilliant. The effects were great, the story was quick and they didn't over extend the film as they usually do to pad out the story. Would go and see it again it was great. Kids enjoyed it to.
Hmm.

It's hard to rate this film, because it's obviously not designed for all ages. Simple fact is - it's a kids' film, and kids will love it.
There's nothing wrong with the film as such - it's not too predictable like some other children's "classics", but the ending leaves a little to be desired, and despite the trailer's promise of lots of magical faries and such wherever you look, I found it surprisingly lacking in variety.
Sure, it had a lot of mjical elements, but they were mostly the same time and time again, and the evil ogre wasn't really all that menacing. Although I guess he would be to kids.
It's an alright film, just maybe not worth going to the cinema for. My suggestion - buy it when it's out on DVD. Good for a bit of family afternoon fun, but don't bother unless you're watching it just for the kids' sake - watch Shrek instead.
