Nah. Skip this captain. Nit the one. Poor delivery. Songs ok. Direction is all over the place, as is the plot. Strange subplot. You have to suspend your disbelief far beyond the realms of belief.

A gauche and garish festive flick that neither delights nor delivers on anything remotely entertaining - 1 star

This movie drags painfully long. The pacing is atrocious. Nice costumes and effects but it's a brutal watch.

The only reason I'm giving it a 1 is the singing is great, no memorable toe tapping songs, but incredible voices. It was so flat, the children were far better than the adults, could have been so much more than it was.

It was so flat, the children were far better than the adults, could have been so much more than it was. Mr Jingle voice was so quiet, was almost impossible to hear, he's a great actor so can only be the director to blame. Didn't enjoy the film at all, watched with my 19, 10 and year old who both felt the same. The 10 year old waled out in protest.… Expand

One of the worst films ive watched in recent times, almost as bad as Artemis Fowl (which if you haven't seen it for the love of god, don't watch it).

The film is a mismatch of Mr Magoriums Wonder Emporium and The Greatest Showman (twoOne of the worst films ive watched in recent times, almost as bad as Artemis Fowl (which if you haven't seen it for the love of god, don't watch it).

The film is a mismatch of Mr Magoriums Wonder Emporium and The Greatest Showman (two brilliant films) but fails on both fronts. There is no real character development, you don't care for any of the characters or what happens to them and the changes in mood from depressed and hopless to cheerful and full of joy are swift and without any real reason leaving you with no interest in how things pan out. I won't ruin the end but i will say it makes no sense and raises so many question about the decisions that had been made and how nobody had noticed.

The songs are so far out of sync with the actors singing them its laughable and they've chosen powerful show style songs sung with emotion and told the actors to walk along and mouth the words with a straight face. It just doesnt add up and the acting is almost as bad from the majority of the cast even some well known actors that are usually much better. (The songs are sung and produced well, just poorly executed on screen, the story is neither good nor executed well)

We really wanted to enjoy this film, we all love christmas films and were hoping this would be a new addition to the usual films. But unfortunately it is a let down from the very start and doesn't get any better throughout, my wife left after the first 40 minutes and went to bed it was that bad.

I watched this with my 10 and 13 year old girls and both of them were very disappointed, it may be ok for very young children with all the songs and flashy colours but other than that it hasn't got a lot going for it nor will it be watched again.… Expand

I gave this a 1 because it had a good hook and colorful set design. Don't feel it is the fault of the cast as some are my favs. But, in the year of BLM, I felt the director pandered to the social current, and that trying to create a statementI gave this a 1 because it had a good hook and colorful set design. Don't feel it is the fault of the cast as some are my favs. But, in the year of BLM, I felt the director pandered to the social current, and that trying to create a statement on race outweighed storytelling and flow. Many professional critics who rated this could not stop gushing about its diversity and racial statement. It almost seems like there is a fear of being branded a 'racist if you are too critical of it. As a person of color, when my 8 and 6 year old kids beg me to change the channel, the overweighted positive reviews seem to echo social justice and racial correctness. Please keep political correctness out of Christmas entertainment. Such an amazing cast and set deserved better than the equivalent of kneeling during the national anthem. Like everything lately, some are willing to suspend logic and critical thought, or truth, in lieu of social justice.… Expand
