A wonderful movie. Great storyline. My children and I enjoyed it very much.
colorful, didactic, seductive, exploration of an universe who is ours in each detail, adventure and touching lessons, it is the perfect choice for a large public. sure, it is far to be surprising but it has the virtue to remind in smart manner, old truths in the right manner. and this is the most important detail. because it is a kind of holiday with deep roots who impose a different perspective to the ordinary reality. result - a kind of parable about social differences, love, happiness and friendship, desires and selfishness.and this does Boxtrolls perfect choice for a comfortable afternoon. because it is a nice work who has not exactly the desire to demonstrate a thesis but remind its essence.
This movie is many many things. One of my favorite stop-motion movies of all time I dare say. The humour is just about dark enough to attract elderly personalities such as myself.Who is the true villain?Who is the true hero?Just go, see it, watch. Watch. With whomever! Big or small, rich or tall?IT DOES NOT MATTER. You WILL enjoy what you see. If not, well... there is pity to be had for you somewhere I'm sure. But not here. Oh no.Now go. Leave this page go buy the film.Do it now.
The summary explains my reaction after watching Boxtrolls. I didn't like it i didn't hate it. It was like i have seen a film which was good for one time but i don't want to remember it again. What i am saying is that it was not one of those movies you discuss after you've watched it. Boxtrolls is about a boy who is parented by some cave dwelling creatures. I saw that some great actors have given their voices to the characters. The subject is new, no doubt, but i was getting bored after watching 20 min of it. Then the pace of the movie rises. It starts to throw different situations on the screen to make you laugh, to make you cry, to smile in admiration etc. All i am saying is if you want a movie that should be easy going and you don't want to stress your mind afterward thinking about it, here it is. You'll have a good time watching it. It will not be a profound experience but it will do.
