Warning - it's kind of a musical!

Rating: 3/10 (1 January 2013)

My wife and two kids, boys aged 9 and 12, settled down together to watch this and at the halfway point we all agreed to bail on it.
Part of the problem is that much of the explication is given in song, so unless you're on top of interpreting screechy singing voices you will be a bit lost.
And I didn't really care about any of the characters ... there was a girl who was important somehow but I had no idea of what her motivation was. Her creator was a pretty good evil guy, though.
My kids thought it was creepy, so I guess the film had some power, but just not the kind of power that would make us want to watch it.
