Something Wicked This Way Comes--The Disney Movie?

WARNING: SPOILERS

I find it amazing that Disney of all companies is the one that chose to make a movie of Something Wicked This Way Comes. Let me remind you--a book that inspired Steven King!

So, is it a good adaptation? Well, there are some good things and some bad things.
