Yep. Something whimsical like the book, which was written for 6-10 year olds. Translating it into an epic adult action movies was a terrible decision. I mean, I get why the producers would want to take that approach from a business standpoint. But artistically, you're doing a disservice to the material by turning a light-hearted children'a story into a series of mega-kinetic adult action movies.
