7/10
Decent adaptation to the classic book.
15 December 2012
The book is one of my favorite children's stories, so I had to see this sometime. I personally like the cartoon movie better, but this is good too. It stays faithful to the original story, has good voice actors and is Gary Winick's best movie, but it is not without it's flaws. The crows in the movie can be obnoxious to some people and the humor is a little silly, but despite it's flaws it's still good and just as emotional as the book. The one thing I really liked was Steve Buscemi as Templeton the Rat. He was the perfect voice for that role and is even good when making bad egg puns. This adaptation of Charlotte's Web stays true to the story and they made the right choice to not make it modern. This movie isn't a masterpiece, but it's better than most of the family movies out today.
