ReviewsTime Magazine - A pleasing melange under the direction of Mark Waters, who, after FREAKY FRIDAY and MEAN GIRLS, is becoming the go-to auteur of traumatized youth, Hollywood Reporter - An enjoyable adventure fantasy that pushes all the requisite buttons while still managing to throw in a pleasant surprise or two, Paramount's big-budget gamble has impressive talent to burn on both sides of the camera, Variety - A work of both modest enchantment and enchanting modesty, grounded in a classically Spielbergian realm where childlike wonderment crosses paths with the tough realities of young adulthood
AuthorTony DiTerlizzi, Holly Black

    THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES - DVD (PG)

    An OK (passes the time) film which is best watched on a cold rainy afternoon. This echoes of LABYRINTH and THE NEVER ENDING STORY but it's NOT as good as either of them. It's kind of hard to warm to any of the real-life characters, although the trolls and monsters are very good and the movie is extremely well produced. Definitely one for the kids but there are some genuinely scary moments in this too. Still only SIX out of TEN for me though...

  • Great & enthrauling

    I bought this for my Grandchildren but decided to watch it first whilst on the treadmill. What a great film and I had to take one or two intakes of breath (not because of the exercise!!) as some of the parts were quite exciting. When kids watched it they were engrossed so a great investment
