Nein!
Yesterday (9/9/9) at 90 minutes to 9, we watched 9. We got out at 9:09 which made us 9 minutes late to get to Ranch 99. Instead, we went there at 9 this morning where I purchased 9 different ramen lunches.
All this banter is because I don't really feel like talking about the movie, though I feel compelled to. I'm disappointed with it. I feel like it's Tim Burton's weakest offering to date. For the most part, I've liked Burton a lot. He's been one of my favorite modern directors and of course, I'm a huge animation fan and the world the film was set in was pretty neat.
I've got no complaints about the world, character designs, or animation, but the editing was a bit weak. The pacing was rather off. However, much more distracting was the story itself. It was just not very good, not very compelling. The characters weren't engaging, the plot was nearly purposeless, and the resolution was just kind of.... Eh.
It's by no means the worst film I've ever watched but I think I'd recommend people save their money on this one. There just isn't a lot in it to warrant seeing it on the big screen. :/ And this from someone who's a fan of Tim Burton, rag dolls, and burlap. *sigh*

no subject
The SCIENTIST
The town drunk
The girl who twists her ankle and screams
The general
The handsome dashing hero!
The damsel in distress!
and of course we can't forget the star of the show, $MONSTER!
I loved $MONSTER. All of them. As a child I never understood why 90% of the movie was focused on the dull and uninteresting people and $MONSTER typically only got a few seconds of screen time. It seemed so unfair. I wanted $MONSTER on the screen not BoringMan and LoveInterest.
