Jack's baby face. Actually, the design reminded me of final fantasy character.

I was actually really wary of it when I first heard the title and saw the first few commercials. I wasn't really digging the designs of the side characters at first. But they won me over pretty fast. I was worried about Jack frost too, the commercials really featured him after a while and all I could think was "oh they're just pandering to the young ladies and men who loves them a baby-faced male". Of course I totally loved the Jack frost design and he was a main reason I was keen on the flick (so good job marketing?). I only went for a full price showing because some friends invited me along.
I saw it a second time because the characters are all really interesting, and the design is fantastic. The textures and colours were beautiful, the animation was mesmerizing (most of the time) especially the expressions. A really heart wrenching scene involving jack is just beautiful for his facial acting, I swear I could see tears welling up.

The ending is what keeps it from being an amazing film. But it still has me wanting more, and I really hope they do a sequel with more fantastic creatures, and back-stories. Makes me wanna read all the books too.

Also it blows my mind that it's Peter Ramsey's full-length directorial debut. But seeing as how he's a successful storyboard artist, that explains why the movie looked so amazing.

I agree with you %100. Story telling wise it felt kinda odd? the flow was kinda bizarre and not what I would have expected, and I kinda don't like how they handled pitch at all. Kinda spoliery (hope I'm spelling that right) but I don't feel like pitch shouldn't have got sent to the blackness in the end? Fear is an important emotion to have, you can't be brave if you where never scared of something in the first place. I felt if they tried more to make the movie for everyone rather then just kids it would have had a better story telling flow, and if they tried to iron out the plot holes more it could have been truly great. I felt if maybe the movie was as long as a lotr film or harry potter film that could have helped it but for what it was I did certainly get interested in the world and the lives of the fairy tale characters.

I felt in love with Toothiana ! I love the character ! I love it so badly that I made a fanart of her haha.
About the movie I think, it was a really great one. Honestly it's in my top 3 movie right now. I love how about Jack's quest about finding how he is but I think it's too light as a story to be a great one.
Hopefully there was all those effects ! As a student in animation 3D, Rise of the Guardians fits perfectly what I was looking for.

I love the characters
but I think they should show more about the rest--I mean the tooth fairy, Santa, Bunny and Sandie 'cuz I'd want to know more about minor (can I call them like this?) characters as I want to know about Jack Frost.

the plot's ok, like you said it ended up like a fairy tale version of the Avengers LOL

but it's enjoyable anyway

and Jack Frost is cute XD

I saw it last night and was quite impressed. I was expecting much less while walking in, but it didn't disappoint. The animation was fantastic as well.

I liked it. Yeah, it was more childish than I expected, but the effects were amazing!

I don't really know enough to say one way or another. I hardly know anything about it.

I'll be seeing it on the weekend

I liked it! The whole thing with the kids at the end and fighting Pitch of or whatever didn't really appeal to me, but hey, it's a kid's show (though I'm fairly certain if I had been younger I would have been like OH COME ON). But it made sense plot and theme wise, so eh. The pacing had some issues, but I think that was because it was based off a book series and it's hard to cram everything in there. Overall, I liked it and did not regret seeing it.

Best Dreamworks movie yet, I don't regret passing up Wreck-it Ralph for this.

Meh. It looks OK, but I'm not particularly interested in it. If I was going to watch any animated movie in theaters this year, I would want to see Wreck-It Ralph.

I just got its title confused with "Legend of the Guardians" and thought for a minute you were talking about that owl movie.

Not interested in seeing this one.
