With Chris Columbus at the helm, this film was all set to become his next big thig after Harry Potter. And in a way it was. At first I was sceptical to watch it and dismissed it out of hand, but when I actually sat down and saw the film it was very impressive and fun to watch. Just like the harry potter franchise it saw a number of well known actors alongside some new or leas well known faces to balance it out. And that worked in the directors favour for te makings of a good film
