A faceless, religious farce not meant for kids

Rating: 3/10 (18 October 2014)

Most of this has been said already;
* Creepy looking characters that look like dead people moving. I was afraid this would scare my kids, because it certainly spooked me.
* Way too long, and many scenes seemed to be explicitly made to startle the "3D audience".
* One of the main characters bears an eerie resemblance to Jesus. I'm pretty sure this was intentional.
All in all, I wanted to see a nice Christmas movie with my kids. Instead I got some soulless and boring flick filled with religious clichés. Way too "American" for me.
All this "I want to believe" stuff and "you have lost your way" made me seriously cringe; this is not what I want to expose my kids to. If you're a religious person or has no issues with your kids believing in Santa, then I guess it's fine. Except for the rest of the movie, of course.
TL;DR: My kids found it boring and so did I.
