not really impressed I liked the story line but the acting was shallow, especially Chris Massoglia he was quite boring to watch with little facial expression and an annoying twang in his voice. The story felt like it should have had a better introduction, many things were unexplained. Josh Hutcherson's acting was good, though his character was also a bit lacking in depth. I would have liked to see more to do with the Cirque, some of the 'freaks' had potential for a good side story, i would like to know how they came to be there and how they became freaks in the first place. It's like the directors expected their audience to have already read whatever book it was based on. As a final note, good idea but i think i could have been more polished.
