Yet another reminder that style is nothing without substance. The movie looks
amazing. The characters are unique and colorful, yet I don't care about any of
them. There's absolutely no depth to be found. A bunch of talking animals and
ridiculous looking people interact on screen, but none of them evoke the
slightest emotional reaction from the viewer.
The biggest blunder of all is that the film has no audience. With the PG rating,
you'd think this was created for kids, however, this would simultaneously bore and
scare kids to tears. Adults? Nope. We were unstimulated and confused. Teens?
There's no romance or believable action. Burton took the same unmarketable path
as Jonze did with Where The Wild Things Are. Self gratification over audience appeal.
Rating: F+
