Review of ParaNorman

A good movie

I wasn't really planning to see this flick but since it was the end of the holiday for Nick (my step-son), we went one last time to the theater and chose this flick. Eventually, I thought it was a pretty good stop-motion feature but it was nothing amazing in my opinion. It figures that it was made by Laika, the studio which made 'Coraline' a few years back. I mean, both movies were visually really impressive and marvels to watch but both movies didn't really convince me storywise. Basically, it was just another (better) version of ' The Sixth sense', not much more than that. I mean, it was entertaining enough but the whole thing about the weird kid being bullied by everbody but, at the end, manages to save the city from the zombies and becomes a hero, not only was it rather unoriginal and predictable, but the ending was also rather a letdown compared to the darker satiric tone they showed before. It is like the curse of the witch, it was pretty pedestrian in my opinion. Still, I liked this movie. Indeed, the characters were pretty awesome, it looked great and there were here and there some hilarious scenes. To conclude, in spite of its flaws, I really enjoyed it and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

7/10
