The Polar Express (2004) 5/10

Starring : Tom Hanks, Daryl Sabara, Eddie Deezen, Nona Gaye, Peter Scolari
Director : Robert Zemeckis
Running Time : 115 mins

A little boy finds himself a guest on the Polar Express, a train that travels directly to the North Pole, with a group of other lucky children – all of whom doubt the existence of Santa Claus. When they get there, they get to see all manner of magical sights, including elves, flying reindeer and Santa Claus himself.

This really wasn’t very good. The characters were either over the top or just boring as hell, the movie itself rewarding people for their doubts rather than their beliefs, and I can’t imagine many kids being that interested in watching this. Coupled with the fact it was almost two hours long, I can’t imagine anyone having the time or inclination to sit through this more than once.
