MMM: #2 Rise of the Guardians

[katikat]

Oh, Chris Pine and his wonderful voice, so cuddly, giving me warm fuzzies... *happy sigh* And Hugh Jackman as the Australian Easter Bunny! Gosh, I have never heard him speak with his real accent. Sweet! And I wouldn't have even recognized Jude Law as Pitch Black!

I felt incredibly sorry for Jack Frost, that no one could see him, that no one believed in him even though he was giving children so much joy. The fact that he and Pitch Black were basically in the very same situation, they just handled it differently: Pitch started hating the whole world while Jack never stopped giving joy. And yet, I felt sorry for both of them.

And that's the reason why I think the ending should have been different. Because Pitch was punished for his deeds - but he didn't learn his lesson. He ended up locked away again. And to be honest, I felt sorry for him again. Because, yeah, he went about it in a totally wrong way, but he just wanted people to believe in him and he wanted the Guardians to feel what it was like to stop existing for the children. I think they should've made him learn his lesson - but at the same time, the Guardians should've recognized the need for the Boogeyman...
