Review: Visually stunning ‘Missing Link’ still missing somethingVideo

Men, women and not-so-mythical beasts have world-spanning adventures in the ingeniously wrought and intermittently enthralling “Missing Link.” Although it breaks new ground visually, elements of the tale don’t always meld with grace.
