If you love the books, don't watch the film. IT IS AWFUL. Even from a neutral point of view the film is bad, with some bad acting and special effects.

From a major Caster Chronicles fan however, this film is disgusting. Vital parts of the books are missed out, for example kelting, main characters were missed out, Marion is a key point. Also the story is completely altered, the film makers have purely taken a loose plot interpretation, used the same name and SOME characters and written a new film.
