I had to watch this film for my language arts class and was honestly pretty excited. Instead, what I was given was a 1 hour and 40 minute special that has almost NO relation to the original book by Ray Bradbury. That being said, this isn't exactly a terrible film, as I would have rated this lower if not for its spectacular visuals and great performances by Jordan and Shannon. If it stood faithful to the book I would've rated this a lot higher.
