I thought your review was good except for the stuff you said about Christians. The reason why some Christians have a problem with Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny is because those holidays ARE, originally, ALL about Jesus Christ. His birth, death, and resurrection. Christmas and Easter are Holidays celebrating the Gospel. Celebrating the FACT that we are all rebellious sinners against a perfect God who has every right to wipe us all out and send us to Hell. But he didn't. Instead he sent his only Son to earth two thousand years ago to be crussified on a cross to pay for our sins. Jesus was fully man AND fully God and never EVER sinned once. But he died for us blinded pathetic humans so that, if we repent of our sins and believe and trust in Him, can be saved and spend eternity with Him forever in Heaven. THAT is why Christmas and Easter exist. <br />So here we are two thousand years later and Christmas is nothing but a fun, gift giving, family time with special feelings and lots of romance and Easter just the beginning of spring and egg collecting. Christianity is smacked down as judgemental, bigoted, hypocrites whose belief in God is the equivalent to a child's belief in Santa Clause. THAT is why some true Christians get mad when they see their Lord and Savior's day turned into a secular holiday about fictional characters and shopping. The God of the universe is not an adult version of Santa Clause. He is big, and real, and should be feared by all men. This world will be judged, and everyone who sinned and never came to Christ will pay the consequences. I pray that you will go to Him, that you will realize it is the world telling the lies and being bigoted, evil, jerks. He loves you and wants you to come to Him, so please, call out to Him and ask Him to forgive you.<br /><br />Having said all of that, I still love Rise of the Gardians because even though DreamWorks didn't venture to imply the true meanings of those Holidays, compared to other movies, it had a lot of good biblical lessons and morals and was just a very touching movie.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01510028118828568250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553633213256417629.post-2334730228802611322013-02-20T23:28:53.767-05:002013-02-20T23:28:53.767-05:00I'm a hardcore Christian and I really enjoyed ...I'm a hardcore Christian and I really enjoyed Rise of the Guardians. I also enjoyed your review of the movie. We are not all crazy extremists with no life. We can love God and Jesus with all our passion, but still can appreciate a tasteful movie. This movie was fun, light-hearted and entertaining. Very good movie for people of all ages.Lady Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16399473836947257971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553633213256417629.post-24925132256862858832012-12-06T22:44:33.244-05:002012-12-06T22:44:33.244-05:00Doesn't that one Charlie Brown movie say at th...Doesn't that one Charlie Brown movie say at the end that the true meaning of Christmas is celebrating the birth of Jesus? If so, then there's your Christmas movie that mentions Jesus.

It was just the rig...I really did enjoy this movie. It was just the right amount of serious and holiday whimsy that I like to see in my Christmas movies. But yeah you are right about the whole "Jesus" thing. I can understand why they didn't do it with the Christmas thing, because it originally was a pagan holiday to celebrate winter solicise and all that, but with the Easter Bunny guardian I thought it was a tad bit awkward. Oh well! Seeing as the christen church hasn't bitched about it, I won't complain.<br /><br />And yeah you posted this on my birthday!
