Great-looking, bland film
The scenes and dialogue contained therein are painfully slow-paced, the acting oddly not very interesting, and the story has no real tension. The only reason to see it is Robert Richardson's crisp and vivid photography and many of the design...
Magical
I don't know what Guy was expecting, but this is a toy chest for film lovers. Maybe a little long for young kids, but there's nothing they can't handle. 3D was used very well (theatrically) but the 2D blu-ray is equally lovely.
Likely to see
Not for me
