Coraline's storyline (couldn't resist) is too slow and in the end, has very little meaning. It grabs from so many different existing cliches of a rebel girl who finally sees the light, but is too late and has to accomplish a seemingly impossible goal to save someone they love. Labyrinth? Mirror Mask? Alice in Wonderland? Pan's Labyrinth? The backup characters do not add much either as you see them, you get what what stereotype they represent, and then do not get developed. They are just simply weird.
However, because I went to see this, the trailer for a movie titled '9' was set before me. The soundtrack to the trailer is perfect, much like how The Smashing Pumpkin's The Beginning is The End is The Beginning fit the first Watchmen trailer. Welcome Home by Coheed And Cambria makes the 9 trailer that much more epic.
