If you want to entertain an young person or child, entertain the adult first. Stop celebrating this writer, the movie will not set any new satisfaction levels, turn any new twists or be even nearly as satisfying as "Super 8", "E.T", WALLE and or Monsters Vs Aliens, or The Hobbit, this one has all the expertise and has rallied all the best in the world but the story is lame. Its just good vs Evil, with a climactic end, the kids got bored, I guess it was lush to look at, and the leads were perfectly placed, but from there it relies on story making and its here that it fails. Its Predictable to the end, I am just saying that monsters, special effects and lush production fails when the story is lame, its just promoted as a brilliant story, but its not inventive, not like Box Trolls, Spirited Away, or Wreck it Ralph. Sorry - it all comes down to creative and outside the box thinking. But I will say, it had a lot of potential and an insane budget, but then so did so many others that pancaked - GOOD stories, I have one, 987gig @ gmail . com if you want it, its far better.
