Its a 90s movie, so there is a lot of nostalgia built around it, which does mean its going to be overated by some people.
Never the less its a decent movie worth your time and here is why.
Pros: -There is a comedic element, nothing groundbreaking. I would describe it as Bugs bunny like comedy.
Cons:
Anyways, enjoy this one. I know I always will.
Pros: -There is a comedic element, nothing groundbreaking. I would describe it as Bugs bunny like comedy.
- You do get to meet /understand the characters and empathise with Casper.
- The story is pretty straight forward except for some small plot and twists here and there. If you have kids they ll propably like its simplicity.
- There are unique sets and scenery , especially the artistic architecture of the main set. Not my thing but the effort is appreciated .
- The story leaves you with wanting more about what happened after the epilogue. Which is positive to my perspective. I dont want to know more of a story I didnt find engaging.
- The soundtract ,especially the piano song by James Horner- Caspers lullaby is unbelievably beautiful. A movie with a great soundtrack always scores higher in my book.
- Christina Ricci was lovely ,once again.
Cons:
- The story is rushed in the 20 last minutes of the movie. I understand the need to make 1:30 mins movies for the sake of short attention spans and cinema theaters but I cant but to imagine how good this movie would be if they took their time and move things organically.
- The movie itself is great and it doesnt let you down even after 2 decades since it was released but I find it kinda corny at some points, nothing annoying but I had to share that.
- Bill Pulmans performance was mediocre at certain points.
Anyways, enjoy this one. I know I always will.
