Thumbs Down :(

I'm sorry if I sound so negative, but if I could give this movie a zero rating, I would.

I was excited to see this movie yesterday, as it looked promising and fun, just like all the other Christmas movies I have seen as a child. The poster was inviting, with all the colors and tag lines making it seem interesting to watch even for adults like me.

Cut to the chase, it was a boring movie. The plot is so predictable, not enough characters and even the soundtrack was awful. I hope the kids that have seen this movie would not be traumatized enough to see more Christmas movies in the future.

Nice enough movie

Seems a nice enough, mythologic flick.

Unfortunately, the mythology of my upbringing doesn't involve the myths of Finland.

So, I am left to wonder of their stories, and watch this story as a Foreign Film. Which for me, it is.

Still, it is a Hero Tale. Something that seems common and transcends cultural boundaries. Initially, the animation seemed simple; simplistic would be a better term. Especially for one raised on the Hanna-Barbera offerings of the '60s and '70s.

I recommend Youse sit back and enjoy a fun story for a Winter's night.
