good visuals, story not as good

[madbaker]

We watched Mirrormask last night, thanks to the curvy upstairs neighbor's Netflix subscription. I suppose I should join, at least at the base level. Anyway - I liked the visuals of the movie, but the story felt lacking. Especially when compared to Neil Gaiman's normal characterization. The characters seemed a bit flat to me (I would have liked more delving into the mother-daughter relationship) and the story seemed to jump too much. More viewings might help with that, I suppose, but I probably won't bother.
