Movie Review Thread

[Zim]

Coraline is a great movie. I was pleasantly surprised by how well they managed to do the 3d stuff. I guess I'd gotten it into my head that 3d movies aren't generally done well... If anybody is considering seeing it, I'd suggest doing it soon before the "Jonas Brothers" movie takes all the 3d screens.

There were one or two things that were beat over your head a little that were more subtle in the book (Coraline's relationships with her parents early on, for example) but it was nothing at all compared to, well, almost every other book turned movie. All in all they did a wonderful job at the adaptation, and even where things were changed it was only where they needed to be to fit the new medium. Even the new character that was added was done so seamlessly.

I was also amused to find the movie was set rather close to where I live, although you could only tell if you paid attention.

I can't say much more except it's the only movie I've seen lately that I would watch immediately if given the chance, as well as the only one I've ever felt the need top post about in this thread.
