I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Best movie ever!
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Although the story is average, its a real treat to watch
A great great film- something both kids and adults will enjoy and relish alike. Tom Hanks is supreme, but it is the stunning animation that blows you away.
What is this movie about? Not much. A happens, then B happens, then C happens, and so on. Their on a train, then there's a ticket, then a guy on the top of the train, then caribou, then the carriage comes off, then they're in a factory, then this, then that. The message: Believe BELIEVE BEEELLLLIIIEEEVVVE! In what? Santa? He's been on a magic train that skates on ice, with a weird disappearing man who doesn't do anything but sit there and disappear seemingly at will, and we're supposed to think that he doesn't believe in SANTA?! What?! I'd believe in anything at that point. Then there's a bell. Then they go home.But it's a kid's movie. Why complain? Of the tiresome sequence of events, none of them are fun; they are mostly about going really fast. (This movie is really about people going fast, because that looks good in 3D, apparently). There is one scene where they have chocolate, but the kids spend most scenes in mortal peril, falling or hanging off things. None of that innocent joy thing you might expect. Just fear for their lives.
It is about time to stop telling kids lies about the tradition of Coca Cola consumerism Christmas/Santa Claus. This is NO lie that needs to be told to children. Take away the gifts and that Coca Cola Red Monstrosity. Do a movie about that, Hollywood... But it would be harder to sell. I have no problems with giving presents to each others on that particular day but you can give a present to anybody at any day. But THIS is not the purpose of Christmastime. This is not the story why people celebrate. Thus making the movie a really really blant animated fantasy flick. It is just wrong. The interpretation of this time of the year needs to be told for what it actually is - daylight/sun. The movie got nothing going for itself. The voice talent of tom hanks is bothersome. This movie is a stinker all over. A big fat lie told to kids and grown ups too. Jaaaayzus.
