Finally saw Coraline

So I finally managed to see Coraline today. Picked up the DVD and spent a good...3 hours and 22 minutes with it.

I watched it twice (it's 1 hour 41 minutes). Once by myself and the other time with my mom.

Well, considering I popped it in expecting Nightmare Before Christmas quality storytelling and characters...

I was horrifyingly disappointed. The movie feels a bit rushed to me, the characters are...interesting but I just couldn't feel a proper connection. Animation wise the entire thing is superb, camera work and cutting is great, but, again, it felt rushed.

Shame too. Oh, I tried watching it in 3D, I couldn't get it to work but my mom did. Oh well.

I definitely can recommend the movie though, it's a great movie.

And I also saw Valkyrie today, the Tom Cruise film about the attempted assassination of Hitler. That was pretty good actually.
