It was not the same as the animated version but it still portrays the same concept and has the same main plot. Though it isn't better but it's pretty good. I really loved the movie, it was great but still, not better than the animated one. Even though, you should watch it, it's worth your time; it was mine. And the fact that the director of this movie is a woman supports the main concept of this movie.
I especially liked that this was solely based on action and history and drama, not romance, it also portrays friendship and respect that friends give eachother, this makes me love this movie more.
