This movie's had quite a rave reception and I have to say that I'm not entirely sure why. I didn't find it as engaging as I expected given that this is a remake of an old classic. I also expected more given the director's previous work. I found the tone off-putting, the story changes largely pointless, and the animation a bit off. I mean, this wasn't as good as "Troll Hunters".
Not recommended.
After being dragged into a four-hour super-hero movie viewing with the director's name in it, and now this, I think I've detected a pattern.
