Oh, fiddlesticks. I would've considered watching it if you did. xD
Online reviewers are more analytical or at least they try to be when dissecting a movie based on its plot/animation.

I don't know why but it seems the books based on the movies are never good or worth their weight in gold.

I also read the free online previews, that helps the most when deciding if you like a book or not.
