    I read the book about a month ago, and honestly, they changed way too much. Still, it’s not a total loss—there’s something kind of fun about the old-school effects and that classic adventure vibe. Some parts drag, and the story doesn’t hit like it should, but it’s easy enough to watch and has its moments. Definitely more nostalgia than anything else.
