    Plot Hole

    by

    SPOILERS!!

    Jack can't get anyone to believe in him.
    At the end, Jack draws a bunny in the frost on a boy's window. The bunny comes to life and the boy can see Jack now because he believes. ...Why didn't Jack just show himself like this to everyone all the time?

    Good, Funny Movie

    by bryceangell649

    Rise of the Guardians has an interesting and original plot. The characters have awesome personality and there is plenty of humor contained in the movie. Not sure about how I feel with portraying the Santa as a tough guy with tattoos but a softy on the inside. Still a great movie!

    Great Holiday Movie

    by

    I took my 5 year old nephew to see it last night. We both laughed silly. I loved the fact that Jack Frost was made immortal after giving up his life for his sister. Liked the fact that Santa still had his Russian accent.

    Better than expected...

    by tohodesigns

    I had no interest in seeing this movie originally, but on insistence of my children, I begrudgingly went. All in all, I left the theater pleasantly surprised and happy that I saw it.

    Amazing

    by

    First movie in years to make you believe in all good things. Love the story line and animation. Wish it wasn't so expensive to go to movies i would go see it again. Can not wait for the ble ray to get released. Must go see, Made Santa just what I believed he looks like and now at 34 years old believe all over again.

    A history of the Enlightenment

    by alleygonz

    Ignore AO Scott's reading of this movie. This is a film with multiple and excellent narratives: It is a history the Enlightenment, arguably told from a secular, albeit Christian-inflected perspective, and it is also an individual's coming-of-age story within the context of larger social commitments. The films asks the viewer to consider how we construct the world based on our own fears, and in doing so, suggests that the viewer look beyond historical phobias and the often self-fulfilling fears of society.

    Such an awesome festive show for the holidays

    by uso099

    So uplifting and entertaining from beginning to end. Great moral teachings and it actually helped me explain by much better illustration, about all these characters to my three young girls. I recognized the actors voices and very well casting for them as well. It all blended so well. GREAT MOVIE FOR THE HOLIDAYS

    Rise of the Guardens Rises

    by THOM2

    Rise of the Guardians is a great family movie. The acting is amazing with a good plot. It has a heart warming lesson for children, a wonderful score for music lovers, and some nice action scenes for anyone. It's the Avengers for children.

    Can't wait to see it again.

    by

    This movie is wonderful. I can't wait to add it in to my Christmas movies collection. Even though the movie takes place around Easter. The theme of the movie is wonderful for Christmas. The action is great for younger kids, but the theme, and beliefs the movie trys to bring acrossed is more for older children. There is also some great humor for adults as well. My favorite characters has to be Santa's yetis, and Sandman.
