HOW on Earth is this rated so highly??

Rating: 5/10 (26 October 2012)

This film's tagline is 'One of the most legendary directors of our time takes you on an extraordinary adventure.'
Which should of course be '...an extraordinarily DULL adventure.'
The trouble with this film is that it doesn't quite know what it is. It's not a children's film, and not an adult film. It's just an over-CGI'd mess. It claims to be some fantastical adventure, but it's boring, and the good-ol' family fairytale that could and should be there takes second billing to Marty's nod to what inspired him as a filmmaker all those decades ago. What's left is a confused yawn-inducing hash of a film that should only have won an Oscar for 'Movie most likely to cure insomnia'.
