Words cannot express my dissapointment... this motion picture is an atrocity...

Rating: 1/10 (5 June 2019)

In a lot of the reviews of Coraline (book) they call it terrifying, I couldn't disagree more, the only thing it was to is terrifyingly good whereas the movie actually had me fearing for my sanity it was so despicably awful!, so I will hand it to the movie (if it can be called that) that it is a lot more terrifying than the book.
The other parents....
NONONONONONONONONO DON'T MAKE ME TALK ABOUT THE OTHER PARENTS!
The worst and most sickening mechanic in this film is how wonderful the other parents are!!!! They were supposed to be nice, very nice, but NORMAL PEOPLE, and the same goes for the meal and all the features of the other world were supposed to be great, maybe even magical, but they had strong sense of normality to it that really made it believable, and even to some people scary, something that I feel the film failed to pick up on.
Coraline is one of the brattiest and unlikeable characters I have ever seen. That's really all I have to say on that matter, why would some writer for whatever insane studio greenlit this abomination think that making Coraline the definition of spoilt would make people 'relate' to this 'character'. I would have considered the fact that Coralines an unlikeable character and I should deal with it and that this isn't the book if it made sense for her to act all bratty, but sadly it did not as her parents did anything but spoil her.
The dynamic between Miss Spink and Forcible was disappointing due to the failed potential as although the chemistry of the characters was great it was ruined by the bad writing, this for me made it one of my least favourite parts of this sea of filth.
On the subject of the writing the writing of this film, film, is that the right way to describe it? I found that if the writers read the skimmed over the book drunkenly and the next morning put in parts that they remembered from it every 20 minutes to remind you what film you're watching it would be a truer and more believable adaptation, in fact why don't they remake it using this method.
The movie is so dumbed down to pander to the growing audience of illiterate people that I would recommend it to a two year old that has very low standards! 0.0001/10
