I really didn't care for this at all, and even my son - who's fairly uncritical of most movies - was pretty 'meh' and preferred the book. Too brightly lit and colorful as noted upthread, it needed more eerieness. Fudderwacken mention not far off the mark.

My kids (10 and 13, girls) and wife were all meh.

My 8 year old nephew was disappointed in it. He loves the books.

saw this on an airplane and my god it is atrociously bad. principal kid actors put in a great effort (Meg and Calvin were great, Charle Wallace was... OK) but it's like... did anyone involved even read the book?
