A magical adventure!! Great with the cinema sound systems

I was dying to play the game first but then i saw the movie was out and i just had to get it. It was a 3D animated film which i didnt relaise at first..it was fantastic! from beginning to end i really enjoyed the story of the film. It didnt have any boring parts to it, it just carried on as a journey on a train. The best parts were where the train went up and down rolarcoaster parts of the track, i also found the movie quite funny too. A must see for all the family.

Bi-Polar Express

This movie was just awful from beginning to end. How many times can you possibly break a train? The writing was trerrible and the characters were flat. The motion capture animation was nice but sometimes creepy. I still can't understand the reason for the bum on the roof, nor the fact that Hanks narrated some of the beginning lines from the kids perspective. The hole in the robe was a stupid gimmick and you could see the end coming from a mile away. The worst part about this movie was The North Pole. I can't imagine why Santa would live in something that resembled The Deathstar from Star Wars. The whole scene with the elves resembled a communist youth rally!!! Santa beating his reindeer with a whip... what the hell!!! The movie is very hypocritical asking you to believe in what you can't see and then showing you why you need to believe in it. We don't need to see how Santa operates. It takes all the magic out of Christmas. I don't know about you but my Santa doesn't use ropes, pully's and spy on kids using video cameras. Santa my friends is magic, this movie is not!!!
