a wonderful and fun movie that teaches kids the true meaning of chrismas.
The movie is really good. Young kindergarteners and preschoolers and other low grades mostly think that the holidays are just about getting gifs well this movie will teach them that it is much more than that. I would recomend this to young kids, older kids, tweens, teenagers even adults. Because this movie is great enough to bring the chrismas spirit into anyones life. I say this movie is OFF for ages 1-3 (for peril and some mildly scary scenes. IFFY for age 4 (for peril and some mildly scary scenes. and ON for age 5 and up.
I loved this movie. At the end it was very heartwarming about the bell from Santa's sleigh. That over time his friends and even his sister couldn't hear the bell any more. A holiday favorite!
I always loved this movie! Best Christmas special I have ever seen! I always hate to wait until winter to watch this movie because I love this movie sooooooo much
I remember watching this one all the way back in 2004. It was really enjoyable. Everything about this movie was very interesting, and still is. However, I still think they could improve on some of the animation. Yeah, a lot of it was great, except for those darn eyes. They looked like something out of a zombie movie. Perhaps, I'm taking it a bit too far, but the eyes were the biggest flaw in the movie. They really didn't have any unique expressions on them. They all looked, well, fake. Aside from that, the movie was great. While the book takes some minutes to read, the movie was stretched out into, well, one, big movie. Polar Express, like the classic book, is a great, family-fun adventure for any age. It has nothing bad. Santa Clause did look kind of creepy, but it was very good. If you love the book, I'm sure you'll love the film adaptation as well.
people who love the classic book are in for a disappointment. in no way does this movie compare to the carefree story--they've felt the need to invent a more dangerous plotline and effectively ruined a timeless story. overall, it's not worth the time it takes to find the DVD.
This movie's sooo good! You will totally love it! Scary for some younger kids cuz they almost fall off the locomotive and this hobo is a bit too dramatic :P
A very good movie, perfect for the holiday season! And it has Josh Groban in it! (he is awesome!) The music is awesome, so is the animation, at first I thought those people were real! I loved it, so sweet, although that part where he was stuck in that place where those toys were abandoned made me scared (and a tad sad) Sometimes it can get boring, but it's overall not bad! I own it and I'm glad its in my house, it seems nicer for some reason. Your kids might love it, great movie to watch on Christmas day (also, celebrate the birth of Jesus)
Wow! I loved this movie I think I watch it every year for a matter playing it on of a fact.Nothing to violent though.But you know there should be a sequel or something else.And the song Believe Im playing on the piano*MON SENSE REVIEWERS I TOTALLY APPROVE.
I know christmas is a great holiday, but I rate it 4 stars because one of my friends don't believe in christmas so that's why she doesn't want to watch the movie. I don't have any concerns for this movie because there are no bad things.
Some parts creeped me out when I watched this. But it was a good story on believing in the spirit of Christmas, which every kid needs to know. Withouth it, where's the innocence? It's got musical numbers and some weird parts I didn't really get, but it's visually superb and simple in writing, which in this case is a good thing. You don't wanna complicate a book that had less than 30 pages in it.
This movie has become somewhat of a tradition in my town. We all watched it when we were in second grade, and we've watched it every Christmas since then (even the high schoolers feel it's not Christmas without watching the Polar Express!). We all love it, it's got action, humor, fantasy - everything a kid could ask for in a movie, and above all, the music is amazing (our eight grade choir is singing "When Christmas Comes to Town" for our Christmas concert this year), the animation is great, and the characters are good role models and likable. I can't wait 'till we all gather and watch this movie again this year! :)
I see it every year at my school its the best movie in history they put it in spirit week and cristmas! Its about a little boy that gets into a train that reaches the north pole the messge is to allways BELIVE!
