Review of MirrorMask (2005) by Saquib H — 28 Jul 2010

This could of been an amazing movie, but one thing was missing. The story was all in pieces. By the end you do get the whole point of the story. But up to that point it seems like so much is left out. The story rushes in parts way too much.

This is such a shame because the visual and art aspect of it was simply beautiful. The cast was also amazing. Stephanie Leonidas was great and probably my favorite character was played by Jason Barry.

He was very entertaining. Back to the visual of it all. Very artistically done. Jim Hensen helped with the film and using his mind with Dave McKean and the writers, they created such a strange yet satisfying world.

It was like seeing a interesting child's dream with an overcast of a creepy tone. Because the story was so rushed, I started to get really annoyed watching the film, but luckily all the visuals really kept me interested enough to want to see more.

Again, that is too bad. I really wanted this film to be great. I guess the writers had an imagination for the characters, but couldn't get the story down very well on paper.
