I maybe in the minority with this review, I quite enjoyed this movie.

Okay it doesn't really follow the original novel, rather it pick out parts that fit this new version.

The casting was pretty good too, young Charlie was the standout, hating her abilities but eventually learning to control them. Not so sure about 'Cap' they should probably have found a new character rather than just have a female boss, also quite whiny.

I really liked the changes to the Rainbird arc with the exception of the last 5mins - toll understand if you've watched before reading reviews.

In summary this movie is very watchable as long as you are prepared to see a new vision for the novel .
