Just watched this movie by chance:
I expected another light Fantasy movie with no depth.
I was quite wrong.
The movie has its real own story (based on book, as i got to know), is fast paced, quiet dark and engaging.
Overall very well done. Very nice setting and good actors.
So, only thing I wonder, why this movie is quite underrated here at imdb. I guess it has a problem to get to the right audience: Many might just want to see another flat american-style fantasy movie: They will be swamped and disappointed. For children (<12) this movie might be to dark and rough. For older audience, who like dark fantasy, there might be to much moral and it might be to fariytale-like.
So, if you like a good, dark fantasy story without blood, but with some moral and heart, this movie is for you!
