(waves) disappointed fan of the book here.

I think I agree with almost all of the choices they made in adaptation, and still think the movie didn't quite work. And if the kids around me were any indication, it missed them as the target audience as well.

Okay so it's not a good adaption. But does it make sense to watch it, if one hasn't read the book? The trailers made it look so pretty.

[philstar22]

I think it does. They do explain things pretty well. And, it seems to me, one of the keys to enjoying it is whether you think it is pretty or not. Because I thought the movie was gorgeous, and that really helped my enjoyment.

[cbrachyrhynchos]

It's got beautiful production and costume design but the plot seemed to fizzle multiple times for me.

[rosehiptea]

I have no problem with any of the casting and almost all the visuals I saw looked good to me but it sounds like something I'm just going to want to skip. I saw someone on tumblr claiming it only got bad reviews because most reviewers are male but I don't buy it. (There was some explanation of why they thought that, but I still didn't buy it.)

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Yeah, I'm not all that into the project of writing off a class of reviews because of mythical boy/girl cooties.

On the other hand, it wasn't bad. It just didn't knock my socks off as a great cinematic work of theological fantasy, something that I probably take a bit too seriously.

[(Anonymous)]

I thought it was really enjoyable as a movie and benefited from being seen on a big screen.

[(Anonymous)]

It does look pretty, but in a very generic way. I showed the trailer to my kids, expecting them to be excited, but the reception was more "Oh, that looks like every other kids CGI adventure movie. Isn't that creature from [other film]?" We haven't seen it yet (not released in our country), but the feeling I get is that the movie is what Hollywood *thinks* kids want, and not what actually makes these stories appeal. Which is a shame, because (despite not reading the book), I was looking forward to the movie.

[philstar22]

Aw. I enjoyed it. I didn't think it was amazing, but it was good. Then again, I've always liked the second and third books better. I think Wrinkle is really hard to adapt. I'm sad it bombed because it means we won't get the other two.
