this one is a real mind bender. try not to analyze it after. you will not come up with a solution. if you liked Lost, you will like this. The acting is flawless and has a great cast. do not be surprised if Leo gets an academy nomination for this one. CG is up to par. Enjoy.
This movie is fun to see. The actors are top notch. There are times where it is hard to understand the dialogue due to accents and rapid speech. It does not follow the books, but is a fun watch and sets up a sequel nicely.
This movie is done in good old fashioned Disney animation. It proves that a movie does not need to be CG, 3D, and/or HD to be a winner and enyoyed by children and adults. A fairy tale with a twist or two and good music by Randy Newman make this one a must see and own. Be prepared to download the songs for your kids to sing along with after. One word of caution. The shadow man and his shadow friends may be frightening for the under 5 set.
Not having read the book, I was very happy with the movie. Much better effects and character development in this installment of the series. Worth the 3 hours I waited outside in line to see. Still would not take a guy to it. He would not understand.
