No, I wouldn't say it is. It's pretty "dark" (just like the book is), with Colonel Graff (the Battle School commander, played by Harrison Ford) doing whatever is necessary to make Ender into what he needs him to be. It doesn't pull any punches.
I'm not at all surprised that it doesn't score terribly highly on a film review site; it's not a "populist" film by any means, and probably won't appeal to non-SF fans.
