A Good Holiday Film(SPOILERS)

Rating: 7/10 (12 December 2006)

SPOILERS
Well, well, well, I'm back to commenting on Holiday films. I decided to comment on the Polar Express. I don't know why I want to comment on it, I just feel like it. Anyway, I loved the book so I wanted to see the movie. This was very, very nice and cute, but not as good as I was expecting it to be. To tell you the truth, it was a visually amazing film. Everyone looked almost real.
A boy is taken on a train called the Polar Express to go to the North Pole. Along the way the train encounters a slippery mountain is a visually stunning scene, the main character loses a little girl's ticket to stay on the train, and much more. They make it to the North Pole. They meet Santa. Santa gives the boy a bell that makes a wonderful noise. When they go back to their houses the conductor stamps words on their tickets. The boy gets the word believe on his. Then the boy can't find his bell. He is dropped off at his house. The next morning it is one of his presents for Christmas. Over the years everyone he knows have stopped hearing the bell, but everyone who believes, including him, can hear it.
Overall, this is a stunning film that everyone can enjoy. Although it was not as good as I expected, it was still very good. I liked the book a lot better, and I wondered how they could turn a thirty page book into a movie that is one hundred minutes long. I never really knew why nobody had a name. I mean, there was the boy, the conductor, the girl, and Santa. Santa's the only one that had a name. Anyway, this is a good film.
7/10
