I had no idea what I watched. Seldom one can expect movies remain much faithful to the book, but so much personality changes in the lead?! Without the genius criminal mastermind theme, this is just another fantasy children movies packed CGI. I expected more of Branagh. But consider how long it took to finally get movie made, maybe the aim was "something is better than nothing"?
We all know that victory has a thousand fathers but defeat is an orphan. The killer is a hard case who is also single-minded. I can't even get into his mind.
