the polar express be an awful movie . what make this movie worst be the hypocrisy to present itself a a innocent and sugary and harmless tale for child about the true meaning of christmas . i never read the book of chris van allsburg in what it be inspire and but the most disappointing be that it be direct by robert zemeckis and the same who make the great who frame roger rabbit . and a excellent movie where he proof that the animation could be appreciate for kid and adult equally and while in this movie it seem that he be victim of his own ambition and he give too much importance to create impressive level of detail than a interesting story . i be sorry to say this and but the polar express have so much artistic level a a publicity campaign of a video game or toy . everything in this movie seem to be so lifeless represent the character could look like human and but they do not have nothing of life on them and and they have a malevolent touch in their eye . but the bad . be the message in this movie . you could see it at some part of the movie and and believe me and it be vile . take for example one scene and where one kid refuse to enter to the polar express . notice that the character that look like tom hank make a gesture like say you be stupid to do not accept my offering . second and when the girl say that the toy be so warm and thing like that . all the damn movie the kid keep talk about how big would be the gift that santa would give to them . there be even a song about the gift . the vagabond be a irrelevant and weak character . and and in the last scene the character seem to discover the true meaning of christmas represent and what would be . what do you think . the gift . many christmas movie be close to say something like it and but the polar express it a ode to the materialism and greed . seriouslly and i refuse to call it a child movie and because if be that what the kid would learn and i do not want to think how would be our future .
