Say What I Think

Let me start me start by saying I think I could have done better in the mixing of the sound tracks then they did. The dialog was very soft through most of the movie but the music was so loud it sometimes felt like it would bust our ear drums by listening to it. There were a couple of places even though the tv was loud we struggled to hear the dialog between some of the actors. Other then this problem the movie was pretty good.
When Spiderwick Chronicles first came out many people said it was a rip off of Harry Potter. In the beginning of the movie, I could see that some what but not really. I think those to movie are pretty much their own movies. This movie had 3 main kids as the important characters and then some mythological creatures. The kids went to go and live in their uncle house, which had been abandoned for nearly 80 years. Then they found a book, that pretty much open their eyes to see what couldn’t be seen.
The mother was left the father, which is why they ended up living in the house. I wouldn’t say it was as good as Harry Potter because it wasn’t but it was good on it own merits. The movie kept up with a good pace. Some places in the movie, we just couldn’t help but laugh and say Oh gross.
I wish their sound controls where better because I think if I wasn’t worried about turning the TV up and down then it would have been more enjoyable, to bad they didn’t have a good audio racks. I found this movie to have some areas where you had to ask questions but never really got any answers for the question. Like where did all the stuff come from in the little elevator thing. Maybe it was a where they went for vacation or it belonged to the little girl who lived there 80 years ago, that all we could have guessed.

This is a good family friendly movie, the closes it came to swearing was toward the end of the movie but it was like Sh and then nothing. I don’t think I would recommend it for young children maybe about 7 or older I would say depending on the child.
