Coraline

Huh. I see that in the book

SPOILERS



Coraline saves herself with cunning and pluck. In the movie, she gets saved by the boy next door, a character I do not think exists in the book.

The 3D option gave me stabbing pains in my right eye within about five minutes so we watched the 2D version.

He's also, for most of the movie, someone who is not as smart, brave, or competent as Coraline.

Which meant, for me, that most of the movie involved him being a completely uninteresting character, and her being obnoxious to him, which made her a much less interesting character.
