Bravo! Grandiosa! Wonderful!

¡Muy recomendable para niños, les encantará!!! Highly recommendable forkids! Do not pay attention to negative posts and make your own judgment(as in everything in life). Of course, everyone has the right to saywhatever they think, it's a free world, but it seems to me that in thisparticular case, bad critics come more from personal idiosyncrasies andprejudice, and maybe envy (which is the active ingredient of mostdestructive criticism I've seen). I do not see objective evaluations inthe few "professional critics" I read for this Nutcracker Movie. Whatelse can I say? Production is superb, acting from the main charactersis excellent, settings are beautiful and special effects are very welldone. Whatever "ideology" or "political" ideas there may be are just amere interpretation of historic outcomes that do not interfere with themain story, and the children will most likely filter them out. (I hopethere are now more than 10 lines, because this review is taking moretime than what I first thought it would). Enjoy the movie! My kids, 8and 10, really did!

Bad reviews, but good movie?

It seems that all the reviewers missed their mark and poorly did theirjobs! First, they say it was "dark" because of the rat army? But, Iremember Monkey flying armies in the "Wizard of Oz", does that meanthat it was "dark"? Nonsense! How about the Wicked Witch of the Weststarting the Straw Man on fire? Did that send "Children running up theisles"? Nonsense Again! So, the question is did the major studio's notwant the Competition and conspire to hurt a decent well done holidaymovie? My guess is yes! Only 45 screens in the U.S. doomed it tofailure. As to it being a bad version of Nutcracker, It was not aversion of Nutcracker at all! It says plainly "the untold story" andinspired by the Nutcracker, but , that was it! It was a fantasyadventure with some very good effects. The lift up the Christmas treewas deserving of much praise as a "magical Cinematic moment"! As, wereothers in this film. I had my children see it and they liked it verymuch, as did the Grandparents. Don't listen to the reviewers, theyalready decided this films fate before they saw it! (my belief)Otherwize they would't be so shallow and incredibly slow about theirreviews!
