Uncomfortable Moments Yes 90% of the film which is at least 10% less than the book
Notable This movie has a crazy notion to make wolves an polar bears part of the evildoers which is total rubbish as they are too presh for words.
Best Part Three minutes before the movie started I was the only one in the auditorium and an elderly couple sat two seats away from me. The woman looked at me and I could tell she wanted to sit next to me but my look must have dissuaded her. (Go figure.) Sadly this is much more interesting and weird than anything in the movie.
Best Line "My name is Phillip!"
Crowns 1 out of 5
