Saw Paranorman like 3 hours ago.
I wouldn't say it was amazing, but I really did enjoy it.
I know the stop-motion is impressive, but I feel like it hurt the film a little bit, save orignality and craftsmanship. There were a few areas where the characters' hair would move around randomly which would kind of ruin the effect, but overall it was pretty impressive artistically. I do wonder how they did some effects; it has to be partially CGI in some way.
As for the story, I really liked it. It wasn't the most original concerning certain jokes and comic relief, but the story is beautifully crafted and sends a great message, not to mention the way they ended it was perfect.
I do think that some characters were a tad too exaggerated, though, which was kind of annoying (namely the Bully and dumb brother of Neil), but not so much that it ruined the movie.
Overall, I'd say 8/10
