This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

That was an excellent one.

One of my all time favorites.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I found this more of a cartoon than an animated feature, and quite kiddy-ish, actually. This was just way too far-fetched for an animated film. Not my cup of tea, I'm afraid.

I could have lived without the musical numbers, and the movie did not pull me in the way I hoped it would. BUT it probably captured the bizarre genius storytelling of Roald Dahl better than any other adaptation*, even down to the uneven plot and pacing.*Except Fantastic Mr Fox which is a whole different category.

This film is a joy to watch, so fresh, so tasty, bursting with fruity ideas and music that really make you smile to the world and make you think more about those you love and tell them so. Peace always to everyone, James you are incredible. Thank you, peach.Love Kiki xxxix

It is mind boggling how much praise this film gets. The film is overblown with the only redeeming qualities being the animation and sets, and to a lesser extent, the acting. Everything else is done poorly, especially the songs and the acting from Paul Terry (James).This film has so much set up with no pay off and leaves things that are crucial parts of the story unexplained or illogical. For instance, what was that giant rhino and if it was just smoke and noise how did it eat the parents? What was the mechanical shark? Where did Pete Postlethwaite's character come from? See what I mean?In all honesty, the animation was fantastic and the sets did have a Tim Burton-esque feel to them, but that is about it. If you are looking for a clumsy, unorganized and not too thought out movie, than look no further than "James and the Giant Peach".
