The Polar Express is worth seeing!

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2004)

The first item that everyone needs to remember about the Polar Express "This is a KIDS MOVIE  not an adult film!" Mr. Keith Simanton has a review of this movie here on the IMDb site and he literally forgets this fact entirely.
The film is about a little boy's adventure and about his self-doubt about something he has believed in all of his young life; how this doubt leads him on many adventures within the main adventure itself. It is a film of believing and learning what it means to believe in something and never stop believing  ever!
Mr. Simanton goes as far as to make a statement that the exciting scenes from the movie have "...all the tension of an elementary school play about a lost little present."
Mr. Simanton's comments and a few others I have read, compare the movie to other adult films. THIS IS NOT AN ADULT FILM! If you want that type of excitement and drama, go see the "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events". An adult film recommended for children, which will scare the socks & shoes off of any 6-year-old child!
A kid will look at all the special effects in the Polar Express and marvel at the excitement and the adventure. A child will look at the Polar express and see that it is OK to believe in something that nobody else believes in. An adult that understands what the movie symbolizes will watch the Polar Express in their child's eyes and see Christmas as they remember it from long-long past.
My suggestion to Mr. Simanton is stick with reviewing what you know best, adult-themed-films. Let someone that can see the world through the eyes of a kid review the kids movies!
My suggestion to all the adults out their that want to remember their childhood and the happy memories contained there within  GO SEE THE POLAR EXPRESS WITH YOUR CHILDREN, and WATCH THEIR EYES LIGHT-UP!
