    <body><![CDATA[Good story; adaptation was a big disappointment. P. Craig Russell has done some great comics, and at worst he still draws a very pretty picture, but this was mostly flat and literal-minded. The characters aren't very expressive (Coraline, who looks about 15 and very conventionally pretty, often just seems bored and mildly worried) and, with a few exceptions, the backgrounds aren't either... so it's hard to tell why Coraline would ever think the other house or the Other Mother was particularly cool. If comics aren't really your thing, then this stuff probably won't bug you as much and you can just enjoy the story, but for me it's like watching a well-written movie where the acting and directing and set design and lighting are all kind of half-hearted.]]></body>
