I first watched this as a teen, and it made me remeber the uneasy feelings I got out of reading the book as a kid. The movie managed to capture that certain lasting sadness and the underlying sense of danger that makes the book so memorable to me. Being able to fly and all of that cool stuff, but at what cost.
Anyway, the movie is far from perfect, but they did pretty good with the budget they had imo. The acting was ranging from OK to damn, Daniel Brühl! The soundtrack is amazing.
