An Americanized Piece of Sellout Tripe

Rating: 1/10 (8 February 2009)

Neil Gaiman's masterpiece book was horribly contorted into a monstrosity of Americanized garbage. Nothing good from the book made its way into this movie. The plot was twisted away from the book, the graphics were not as compelling as the book deserved, and after seeing it with a large group of people yesterday, we could only come up with one word that all agreed upon. Broken. This movie was broken. From the discontinuity of the "plot", to the incongruity with the book, to the extreme shakiness of the animation which didn't even stand in the same ballpark as Nightmare Before Christmas, which used the same animation, this movie was BROKEN.
