If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
I had to watch this movie several times when I was younger. It was mainly a case of adults thinking "hey look its a kid movie, kids will like it." I saw this at least 4x at school because of this. This movie is really boring. I don't see how any child would be consistently entertained throughout the whole thing. All I remember is some bad acting, bad effects, and a story worse than what was originally in the book. I also remember being really bored. I wouldn't recommend this movie.
When I was five this movie broke my heart. The movie itself was great, but my revelation afterward was devastating. The cat that I loved with all of my little heart had died about a month before I watched it, but I didn't understand what had happened to him. That was, until I saw what happened to the spider. By the time I was home, I was a blubbering mess. Dad just handed me to Mom because he couldn't figure out how to handle me. I finally cried myself to sleep about two hours later. My opinion on the movie is permanently stained by the heartbreak of loosing my beloved cat. Despite that, it was a great movie.
It's the classic E.B. White children's book. Fern (Dakota Fanning) in Somerset County rescues the runt piglet, and names him Wilbur. Her parents sell Wilbur to Uncle Homer Zuckerman down the road. In the barn, Wilbur meets the various farm animals. Most importantly, he befriends Charlotte the Spider (Julia Roberts) who promises to keep Wilbur from being a spring pig that is used for food in the winter.There are a whole lot of big name voices and it's really unnecessary. Just because they are big stars, it doesn't mean they are great voice actors. It would have been better to use them for the human characters. The modern comparison is obviously Babe. That movie is gentle and heart warming. This one is less gentle and has a more edgy sensibility. The CGI animals are fine but I'm not good with the giant spider. It's very creepy and takes the magic out of the movie. It would so much better to have her be a small dot. The essentials in this movie is a heart warming message and it does deliver that.
A great film for kids, although if you have read the book or seen the animated version you will enjoy it too, but if not you will fell kind of out of place at the beginning but will spend a good time then. A movie that teaches about how strong a friendship can be no matter what. It was a very good adaptation, everything is just as it is, the characters, the scenery. It has some funny moments and it is also very touching and emotional, for example in the scene when Charlotte dies you might drop a tear or two. The effects are very good also, its like the animals really could talk. The cast is good, Dakota Fanning's performance was good, she is one of the best young actresses nowadays. The voices were great every character voice was a good actor or at least someone famous, Julia Roberts as Charlotte, John Cleese as one of the Sheep, Oprah as the goose, Kathy Bates and Reba McEntire as the cows and in my opinion the best one of all was Steve Buscemi as the rat
