Good Story - Flawed, but very fun and creative

The acting in this was very good. My only beef with the story, which is very imaginitive, is that it moves so fast all of the time that you don't really get a whole lot of character development out of ANY of the characters. It's ACTION all the time and very little time to slow down for a minute and get well-acquainted with any of the characters.
Special Effects - again...moving too fast to really enjoy the characters they created. Very few still moments with any of the computer generated characters to get a good look at them.
I have to say this is a little scary for young children. Many of them were having a hard time with some of the dark/creepy scenes in the first 40 min or so. But, it was a little "obvious" what the creatures in the house were.
My Biggest Disappointment (to avoid spoiling) was that when the kids finally found you-know-who, he was practically useless and tells them some Yoda BS about knowledge etc.
Go See It...it's no Harry Potter, but is definitely fun and creative and certainly not boring.
