Who payed the critics

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Maybe it loses something in translation into English, but I thought the movie was boring and the violence and singing about Jack the Ripper like it was okay was just SERIOUSLY damaged!! I came upon the movie by accident and thought it was going to be more like The Boxtrolls which wasn't a great movie but at least it was watchable, tho had I seen it previously, I would NOT have bought it for my children!! I'm VERY glad that I did not let them watch this one as Boxtrolls was already disturbing enough and it was NOTHING in comparison to this one!! Unfortunately the previews made the movies seem better than they actually are. No idea how this movie got such high stars overall. Avoid and save yourself from awful thoughts and songs and images getting stuck in your head!!

it is one of films who you expect. for long, long time. because, in a beautiful, touching, unique form , it is a film about yourself. and this is the most important thing. it is a trip in the heart of childhood, the old fashion childhood. and this transforms it in a gem. the source of its special spell/magic - the great work of Mathias Malzieu. . his novel. his adaptation. and, his Jack. it is difficult to define it. it is not perfect and this is one of basic good things. it is not Pixar or Disney and this is the second virtue. it is a meet with well known characters from old, oldies stories . and it is enough. because, in fact, it is a an admirable game of imagination.

OK so I decided to pick this movie for the night since I didn't know what to watch in putlocker. Anyways I started playing it and at the beginning, I thought the mother was going to die as it was a pretty cold spot where the midwife lived but it seems she left Jack with her. What a way to start a film eh? So we move on and on, Jack has escaped from the police and is on a train. Then all of a sudden, Jack the ripper comes out of nowhere with a knife and try to kill Jack. Seriously, why the hell did they decide to add him onto this? He pretty much is a pointless character since you really don't see him throughout the movie! For the love of god like! I have to say the music really didn't give me a good vibe or feeling, it sounded like the music was from a pub or from out on the street. I felt it the whole soundtrack should've been done more better. It really sounded rubbish like!I wouldn't call this the best dark movie ever and definitely kids would be bored or even scared of this!

It takes a lot for me to sign up to IMDb and review a movie, but I had bad feelings about this movie from the opening, then stopped watching at 30 minutes in and jumped to the end to see what happens.In summary the movie is about a boy who's mother leaves him, has his heart taken out, told never to fall in love, gets bullied terribly, when he stands up for himself his foster mother gets thrown into prison and dies while he is on the run, and his girlfriend neither loves him or trusts him also leaving him to die. All wrapped in musical numbers where at age 11 he sees a girl for the first time and sings about tearing off her clothes with his teeth. The movie looks pretty. It sounds interesting. But I have fairly low standards and couldn't watch through this tripe. Neither for kids or adults I don't know who the audience is but they are not of this Earth.
