Awesome for kids - but if you are 12+ you will feel like you are reading a children's book, which isn't the case with the actual book.
As a reader of the books, and so a fan of the series, I went and saw the film with high expectations, and hoping for a sense of ''breathtaking''. This was, however, unfortunately not what happened. In my opinion, the acting and setup seems like a theater from public school 5th grade. Of course it's child actors who play the more significant roles. But if you can't find children with skills, one should simply make the characters a few years older.
But fortunately there are the skilled and seasoned adult actors, or are there? These tanned actors work equally as if they were extras in a school play. The animations and props were good, and it certainly does not resemble a B-movie. But I hope that a film company with a somewhat higher budget, sees the potential of the extraordinary storyline and therefore makes a re-make of it.
If you have not read the books, I think that the film may be a bit confusing and seem shallow, with a bad plot.
Looking forward to ''Skammertegnet'' - if this were to be produced of course.
