I read the entire trilogy so I knew what to expect going into the film but let me say also that the first and third book drag on forever with nothing happening.
The same can eb said for this film. Despite a few changes here and there and some modern additions like the Wizard of Oz the film sticks true to the novel which isn't exactly a good thing. One plus is the film is self contained and doesn't require the two sequels to complete it all.
The cast does a fine job, even if some feel like they have played the role a hundred times before (Fraiser). The special effects are decent, the action is decent. All around it's a decent film but I can't fully recommend it. Maybe if you have kids who want to see it, then it might be worth a viewing but otherwise I'd pass it up. If the sequel is made it's a much better story despite a to be continued ending.
