Review of Coraline (2009) by Eduardo T — 25 May 2012

Thrilling and heavy on artistic story I don't think it should be considered a children's film. What a great story. The plot was nearly perfect. It introduced it's characters, rising action, climax, falling action, and last but not least the resolution.

It fallowed this plot structure perfectly and didn't get off key. The climax was simple and had a huge emotional effect on me. It made me sick to my stomach and just made the whole film go down for me.

This is what the climax should do. The scene I am talking about is when Caroline gets handed the box and finds out what is inside it. At this point the film's action went down just like in the plot structure diagram every film maker should fallow.

Having said all that, this has some great writing. The dialogue could have been better. But the week dialogue is shadowed by the excellent story line. The direction is marvelous. They created a imaginative world just like in The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I don't even like the Nightmare Before Christmas so I thought I would not like this one but I was wrong. It features great characters with great personalities. The pacing could have been slower. The production values where also really good.

It has a stop motion feel to it because it is stop motion. It must of taken long to move those puppets. I personality would never be patient enough to do that. If you like stop motion animation and great story lines then this is a good one.

You won't be disappointed.
