I thought the film was great. Of course, that's partly due to nostalgia and the fact that it played an important role in my childhood. Nevertheless, the new adaptation is truly spectacular. The special effects are breathtaking, and the music is equally so, partly due to John Powell returning as composer. Apart from that, the actors were excellently chosen, and they all fit their roles very well, embodying them very well and making the film more lively. The second part has already been announced, and I can't wait much longer.
