Wordiezett So much average

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

blakewest-230-498298 ######Spoiler Alert for everyone, especially children.DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!The movie is a bit dark but the bully gets it. Sort of a good story about adoption. Boy falls in love after severe warnings not to do so.The ruining factor is that #####Spoiler alert######the star boy, after getting his true love, commits suicide. Yes, life is great so now I will kill myself. What kind of losers make a movie for anyone, especially teens, that glorifies suicide. That is violence and should make this rated R. There is NOTHING GOOD or entertaining about suicide. Ruined the whole movie and evening.

Paul Magne Haakonsen I sat down with my 7-year old son to watch "Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart", without really knowing what the story was about.It turned out that the story told in "Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart" was just mediocre, and I found both myself and my son with our focus on the screen lacking at times. The story wasn't really all that interesting or captivating. So "Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart" turned out to have no particular appeal to kids or adults.The art style used in this animated movie was quite interesting though, as it bore some resemblance to the odd style of Tim Burton. And it was that slightly odd and off-beat style that kept me hooked in. There was a lot of nice details in the art throughout the course of "Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart".As for the characters in the animated movie, well there was a very rich and colorful character gallery here. Lots of interesting characters with lots of quirks and unique details. I was particularly fond of the cat with the glasses.The voice acting in "Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart" turned out to be quite good, although I can't claim to be familiar with any of the voices on display here.All in all, "Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart" doesn't really stand out in the animation genre. And as it was hardly a very memorable movie, then it came and went without leaving any lasting impression - at least in my opinion.And without having read the book, then I don't know how well this 2013 animated version captured the essence of the story presented in the book, for better or worse.

fomlife777 Jack is somewhat interesting. It has a cool train with accordions connecting the cars. It is the 2nd film I've seen ) that features Georges Méliès as a character. The other film is Hugo, a great superior film. Jack the Ripper also makes a guest cameo trying to kill the protagonist. Although somewhat entertaining the film has serious narrative and problematic content. If a movie is recommended and aimed for children it should be void of suggestive content. It has no place in a kids film. Also it is creepy and weird but not in the good way, in say a film like Labyrinth. Also the ending kills any chance of it being a good film.I hope I can convey this ending adequately so you don't need to sit through this picture. Or perhaps you will want to sit through it to witness it first hand. Jack has a Cuckoo-Clock heart. He goes on a series of adventures to find this girl and finds her, they sort of fall in love and he gives her the literal key to his heart. The key winds his heart so it keeps on ticking. She gets mad at him and his heart breaks. . He goes back home from the place where he was at to have his adoptive mother fix it for him. Only problem is his mum is dead. He goes out into the snow to die.His true love realizes her mistake and goes to find him. She finds him in the snow and offers to wind his heart for him with the key he gave her. He tosses the key into the snow instead and kisses her. The scene then freezes as if somebody stopped time. He begins to climb to the sky on the snowflakes hanging lifeless in the air.The End Really. That's where it ends.

peggytoes This animation is definitely unique and different from any other animation I've seen! It is an artistic masterpiece, has a very clever story, unique music that I totally did not expect, and of course just absolutely wonderful animation! I do highly recommend this movie for the age group of 13 on up. I don't believe younger children will understand the story line.I'm an artist and LOVE to see different types of animation as it helps me to sculpt and create differences.Jack and The Cuckoo Clock Heart isn't as "dark" as some of Tim Burton's works, but still has a little gloomy feel to it. At first I wasn't sure I liked it, but seeing it through ... I LOVE IT!
