God, I fucking hate 3D. The glasses and the gimmick pull me out of the story. I just can't enjoy a movie with those stupid glasses that reduce your field of vision, distort the color and give me a fucking headache.

I really liked the book but felt this adaptation was a bit weak - the scary bits weren't scary enough, the funny bits weren't funny enough and the voice acting was completely uninspired. I love stop-motion animation and am a fan of both Selick and Gaiman, but this one didn't impress me. I'm looking forward to seeing it in 2D on my television at some point - maybe I'll come around on it.

5/10
