The Polar Express(2004)- User Reviews

I should not like this movie. The animation is weird, to say the least, Tom Hanks singing is almost unthinkable, the plot was confusing (what's up with the Hobo?),and the message is nothing new. Yet, I loved it. One thing it had going for it was that …more»

Alright, it's Christmas day and I'm writing a review for the Polar Express. Huh, makes sense, right? This movie, in my mind, is only worth watching during the holiday season. It's stupid in parts and it's boring in others. It tries hard …more»

The train ride to the so called "North Pole" wasn't that bad because it had really good visuals to make everything look real, especially the sparks, etc. But as they got to the North Pole the movie took a dramatic turn.... for the worst. …more»

I cannot find words to tell you how much I enjoyed this film. I saw this with a friend and the whole time we sat there going "It looks so real!" and it really did. The animation is done amazingly well, if I had not known that I was animated, …more»

I was woried that this movie wouldn't be top notch, but I am astonished to admit that this is the most amazing Christmas/ computer animated film I have ever seen. The Incredibles was...incredible. But this film shines like the light in front of …more»

Being 25 and not really into kid's flicks I didn't think I would like this film...but it was amazing! The animation, or what ever it was, was so life like, I mean it was REALLY life like. There were scenes when I felt I was in the train, my stomach …more»
