The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008, DVD)

When it arrived, i was relieved, because it took a long time. When we went to play it, I noticed right away that it was not an original dvd, but a dulpicate. When we actually played it, there was chinese subtitles that we can't get to turn off, and the quality was bad.

Unlike some reviews I will be reviewing the film not ebay or the seller and unlike still some other reviewers I had not seen previews or read the books..for me the dvd cover looked interesting..so when we found it on sale for $10 we bought it and guess what?? we LOVE it..the storyline was fun and adventerous with a little Harry Potter and a little Lord Of The Rings thrown in for good measure..a set of twins, their older Sister and their recently seperated Mother move into a falling down old creepy, but gorgeous old Mansion type house a family estate she is allowed to move into owned by her great Aunt Lucinda..Lucy who is in a sanitorium..Great Aunt Lucinda stayed in the old house her entire life never marrying awaiting her Fathers return after his abduction by a group of Sprites..this story and others got her put away..her Family thinking she's a little loony moves in and soon finds out Lucinda isn't crazy after all and now it's up to them to keep evil from taking over..Watch as the Kids get into adventure after adventure while their Mom is clueless to everything until the last minute..the ending is heartwarming and sweet the way a film of any sorts shoudl end! A fun film for everyone of all ages..If you loved the Harry Potter and LOTR films then you will treasure this one as well...We sure do!!

My toddler son just loves this fantasy adventure movie. It's one of those movies that the kids and adults will enjoy over and over again.

I really enjoyed the way the item was described. The shipping ws very quick. Ebay need more seller like this one.100%++++++++++++++++++

The kids loved this one. The books were a big hit and now, so is the movie. There is great action and adventure, with real life critters based on the book. This is not a movie for the little ones

I decided to buy it because it was a new movie that me and my childern did not see. I liked because it was a movie that the whole family could watch. Overall there was nothing that we didn't like about it, we enjoyed it,

This movie was OK, it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be, don't get me wrong though it's a good movie to watch and to own...my daughter really liked it..I hope they come out with another soon..

I saw the previews for this movie but never made it to the theatre to see it, so once it came out on DVD I had to buy it. I thought it might be geared more towards the younger/teenage kids but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good story line and the scenery was excellent. Very different story line. Highly recommended!

Es una pelicula que aunque va dirigida al publico juvenil tambien nosotros los adultos la disfrutamos. Tiene accion de principio a fin lo que hace que nos quedemos viendola sin levantarnos del asiento. Me gusto mucho.

This movie was great and the whole family enjoyed it. We have watch it at least 2 times now and I am sure the kids will watch it many more to come. It was very well done.

THE SPECIAL AFFECTS ARE GREAT AND IT IS NOT ONLY FOR KIDS BUT I AM 54 AND I LOVE IT AND HAVE NO KIDS

This is a GREAT movie! Keeps your attention, is suspenseful, yet not nightmare causing! I liked it as much as my children! And best yet, as if my children weren't already nature lovers - this movie has tuned them into the world/wildlife and nature around them - EVEN MORE! Love It!
* A SUPERB movie your family will enjoy for many, many years to come - I'm sure will become one of your favorites as it has ours! We rented it = before we even returned to the movie store - I had already ordered a 'replacement' on eBay! lol

I never actually got this DVD because of a bogus seller. Neither ebay or paypal would hold him accountable as far as I can tell.

I just finished this movie, and let me tell you, I want more. This movie has captivated me the way the first two Potter movies did, but went a step beyond that and grasped my full attention and didn't let go. If you want a interesting and compelling story, a good bit of action and a fantasy tell, that doesn't play to a younger crowd necessarily, this is for you. The effects were done in good taste(not overdone), the voice acting for the CG characters was great, and for the first time nickelodeon has made a prodoct oustide of their tv franchises that will stand the test of time. I can not recommend this movie enough, I am just suprised that it didn't catch on in the movies even more so than it did.

the seller is terrible wouldnt contact us no matter how many emails we sent. the movie was great & would reccomend buying it.

HELLO. MY SON GOT 40 DOLLER'S FOR HIS 3RD BIRTHDAY,HE WANTED TWO MOVIES.THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES WAS ONE OF THEM.WE WENT TO THE STORES.FOR HIS TWO MOVIES. AND TO MY REALITY EACH MOVIE WAS 19.99'' GET THIS ON SALE'SO WOULD I SPEND ALL HIS MONEY ON TWO MOVIES??NO WAY I eBAYED ''HE GOT HIS TWO MOVIES FOR 18 DOLLERS''THATS THE WAY TO DO IT''SO THANK YOU eBAY.ANAD SELLER'S DARLENE FROM WYOMING

This was a heart-thumping A+ adventure. My eight and ten year old daughters were mystified throughout the entire film, as was I. I highly reccomend this film.There were some scary parts but in all just a great 100 minutes!!

Nothing catches the viewer's attention better than a movie with a family struggling with a move to a new place, siblings that argue, a hard working mother, and fantasy creatures forcing the family to unite to overcome evil. How cool is that, huh?

Entertaining and magical for kids. Lots of action and adventure and funny monsters keep kids interested in this tale.

I really went into this movie wanting action action fighting bad trolls and such. This movie started slow and kinda stayed that way most of the movie. I have to say the book did come to life but not in the way Narnia or Harry Potter did. When ready Spiderwick the pictures I had did not match what I saw on the tv like when reading HP. 3.9 outta 5

I enjoyed this movie! This maybe a kid movie but, being an adult it's still awsome!! I wanted to watch this movie over and over.

It's a captivating movie with a lot of wierd creatures and quite exciting in places.It could be a bit spooky for younger children, if they are a little timid, but a good movie all in all.
