Review of ParaNorman (2012) by Ray M — 30 Jun 2013
Like many generally good movies, this one falls off a bit in the third act. Characters often repeat themselves to get a simple point across which is entirely unnecessary. You see, the point they're trying to get across is so simple that you'd never need it to be repeated.
Some people are very stupid, but the writers assume the whole audience is. The point they try to get across is simple enough for the average viewer to get it without repeated rewording. One time would be enough.
See how I just used 5 sentences to get a one sentence point across? It's kind of like that. But the overall moral and story is well thought out and highlights an important aspect of human nature in a surprising way.
It's a bit tragic, very funny, and visually engrossing. I recommend it for anyone with kids or an interest in Pixar, Dreamworks, or stop-motion animation.
