Negative Positive
Title: Ehh... So-so.
Review: I expected more from the animators who did the Coraline adaptation, but then the story/script this time was not taken from a fine, dark Neil Gaiman story.Brilliant technical achievement in the animation, but everything else is recycled clichés: The Sixth Sense, Frankenstein, Night of the Living Dead/generic zombie flicks, car chases, grade-school bromance, even a dash of Beetlejuice.The action is s-l-o-w, the story meandering and full of dated pop-culture references, characters somewhat grotesque (not just the zombies) and confined to narrow stereotypes, and the PC/GA burden heavy-handed and tedious.Unlike the Coraline movie, I would not view ParaNorman again nor recommend it to others.
Is the review positive or negative?
