The Polar Express Sucks
It’s time to upset the apple cart: The Polar Express is not a good movie. Any time I speak out in opposition of a beloved Christmas movie I get pushback. I did that with White Christmas and I still haven’t heard the end of it. That’s just one of the things about tradition. Start tipping […]

I can't stand The PolarExpress! I watched it once, and I hated it even before it was half over. I watched the entire thing only because I always need to see a movie through until the end, for some reason. I have never decided to try watching it again, just incase I change my mind about it, because it was just that bad.
 
I'll add my 2 cents, lol.

I'm conflicted about this one. I like the movie, it's not my favorite but I do enjoy it. I like the message behind it and thought it was represented fairly well. I thought the parents not hearing the bell ring in the end was a nice touch as most adults do tend to lose that "magic" or "belief" in the Christmas spirit. I wasn't a huge fan of the hot chocolate scene or the discarded toy scene but overall, it's a good movie (in my opinion).

Good discussion though!
 
I wasn't crazy about it at first but it's grown on me over the years. It's the ending scene that draws me back.

This is what gets me. The first half is...okay, but the ending really is what made me like it. Santa speaking to the kids, the conductor giving his goodbyes, the parents at the end is what I think stood out to me the most
