Review of The Polar Express (2004) by John M — 04 Dec 2012
Just watching this overly-sweet movie could send you into a diabetic coma.
It is very Christmassy and there are moments of the utterly inspired, but the animation is only ok, resulting in an inability, somehow, to relate to the characters. I know it sounds silly, but there it is.
This has got more padding than a stick insect Pavrotti tribute act. It would have worked better as a short film, I think, as it's obvious that bits were just tacked on to fill time.
