O-o-h Child...

Rating: 9/10 (16 November 2014)

This is a movie that strives to make throw your popcorn in the air and clap your hands, and on every level it comes very close to doing so. The music. The way the movie uses music alone is enough to make it more creative than most movies you will see this year. The story, while nothing you haven't seen before, is told much better than other movies that have tried. It's similar to a "John Carter" that actually works, and the reason it works are it's amazing characters. Every actor in this movie nails it, and the characters they play are imaginative, and believable, at the same time. This is a movie that does an excellent job of making you happy, making you smile, and giving you hope. The truest complement to this movie is that it doesn't matter how much I hype it. I knew this movie would be great, and it was much better than I imagined.
