So, The Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, Sandman, Jack Frost and Santa Claus in a superhero movie?

Why nobody make this earlier?

I'm looking forward to November. :)

I've known about this movie for months. I may go see it.

Looks like it could be an interesting, maybe funny, movie.  The premise does seem pretty open for sequels also.

Saw the trailers. I think Russian Santa Claus will probably steal the show.

When I first heard about this movie I thought it was a sequel to Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole, until I saw the poster at least.

Looks like it could be a very good movie.  Looks like they'll have a healthy mix of serious and comedy.  The right amount of each can really enhance a movie of this type.

My one complaint is on the design of Jack Frost. I know he's supposed to be different from the other spirits or whatever, but does have HAVE to look like a low-scale goth kid!?

Other than that...I wonder what the creators were thinking when they decided that Santa should be a macho Russian, but I want what they were having!

He doesn't look like a goth kid to me. He looks like a young person full of energy.

I guess it mostly the sweater, hair, and dark eyes.
The beginning of the trailer where he was wearing that cloak would have been great, but please. Lose the hoodie.
I guess it was something to associate him with, but could he have something that looks a little more mystical

Okay, so reviews are saying this one is good.  They also reveal that the main villain is none other than the Bogeyman.  Yes, THE Bogeyman.  The same Bogeyman we were all afraid of at some point in our childhood.

I'm seriously going to check this out come Monday.  I mean, really, the iconic fantasy characters everyone knows as super heroes.  How can you NOT be excited for it? :)

See ya later! :D

I came back from seeing this movie. It was good. Worth a watch.

Well, better late than never, right!? :D

Yeah, never saw it in theaters like I said I would. (Why am I having trouble keeping promises? -_-) Still, it was an interesting and great movie.

It brought some concepts to these characters that we've known for a long time that were quite unique.  It took everything I believed about them and turned it on it's head.  Also, I feel sorry for one character in particular.  All that hard work and it gets rejected.

Oh, and I have to agree with what one critic said about Sandman.  Seriously, don't get on his bad side. (Though what happened to him in the movie, that was quite heart-breaking. :( )

One thing I can't believe... This movie freaking sold out where I live!  I mean, I was lucky to get my copy.

Still, great movie and well worth the watch. :)

That's all from me.  See ya later! :wave
