James and the Giant Peach - 2 stars out of 10

James and the Giant Peach - 2 stars out of 10

Dumb. As a child, this movie terrified me. As an adult, it was hard to keep watching. If you want stop-animation, watch Nightmare Before Christmas, Wallace and Grommit, or Fantastic Mr. Fox. The animation was decent but the story was dumb. With the exception of a few clever lines, this entire movie fell flat for me and I was desperately searching for other things to do so that I didn't have to waste my full attention on it. A few star voices, a typical Randy Newman score, and Tim Burton's name are not enough to earn a decent rating from me if the story is not well done.
