Very good! BUT, It just wasn't creepy enough!

Rating: 8/10 (7 February 2009)

First Id like to say I didn't read the book but a friend I was with did, and she enjoyed it. I myself liked it very much. I saw it in 3D, while nothing to fancy with the 3D, some scenes were out of this world in 3D. I sat there with a.........WOW face on. Just all the colors and the animation is great. I wasn't expecting to like the animation all that much, because the preview didn't do much for me, but it really WOWed me, especially in the garden scene, just wonderful. The characters, acting, music especially etc were all great but I had a few small problems. 1-It just wasn't creepy enough! I really wanted to feel sorry for Coraline and see her truly horrified, because some of the events in the movie would kinda freak a kid out. 2-It seemed kinda rushed. Just went swiftly from scene to scene even with a 1 hour and 41 minute run time. But in conclusion, I liked it and will be buying the DVD and it really is a good family movie. Kids shouldn't get scared. Again, great movie so go see it. :D
