I took my kids to see this yesterday and it was pretty cool. The creatures are fantastic looking, the acting solid, the story so-so. No need to rush out to see it, but you could do a lot worse.

Was not planning on seeing it personally. I have been so bogged down by children's entertainment lately it feels like my brain is melting.

I took my kids to see it in IMAX a few weeks ago. Scott's description says what I thought about it, too.

Today I saw The Spiderwick Chronicles.

It was not better than "Pan's Labyrinth" or "Bridge to Terabithia", but I enjoyed it. I didn't expect acting, but special effect by Phil Tippet! That's the one reason I enjoyed it. And beautiful score by James Horner....what's need more?

It sound good, but both Pans Labrinth and Bridge to Terabithia are very sad. I put them with the book Where the Red Fern Grows. Is The Spiderwick Cronicals that sad, too?

It is not.

It is not.

OK, good. Maybe I should watch it.

Yes, but "Pans Labrinth" and "Bridge to Terabithia" were very touching story and memorable. I won't forget them.
