Movie 2009.01.16 - The Spiderwick Chronicles

Another not-so-good movie. I like my movies to stick to one theme - fantasy, family, feel-good, drama, suspense; not all of them at the same time. And that is what this movie is trying to be.

The Spiderwick Chronicles is about a bunch of kids who discovered a field guide to fairies, compiled by their great-grandfather or something. Soon after, they start seeing magical creatures who try to protect them and the book. They are also being constantly harassed by monsters and goblins, who want the book so that their ogre boss can take over the fairies.

At one critical junction, when the kids where being chased by Mulgarath inside their home, one of the kids threw away the book out into the lawn. Mulgarath changed into a raven and chased after the book, where he is promptly eaten by Hogsqueal, a good hobgoblin.
