The Worst Film Ever
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
View MoreWhile it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
View MoreThe tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
View MoreThe visual quality and attention to detail is just breath taking. The world that this movie takes you to is also very intriguing and believable even if you are not into owls that much. The story is told like a classic epic which is pretty good especially when combined with its extra ordinary visuals. The only problem I had was from my side and it was not being able to see this in glorious 3D because the attention to detail would have just shined through and through. So if you can help it please just watch in 3D.
View MoreVery refreshing to see an animated film, outside of Japanese animation, dare to present us with an epic adventure story that takes itself seriously, without the need to stuff every other scene full of excessive cartoony slapstick fluff and desperately witty comedy dialogue, just to lighten the mood and remind us that it's a kids movie, which is the trend that modern Western animation seems stuck in lately. Kids absolutely can engage with serious stories that are not afraid to go a bit darker in tone, as I remember quite well from my favorite fantasy movies as a kid.A story featuring owls as characters is a little unusual, for sure. But aside from the unusual owl theme, this is a classic epic fantasy at heart. Epic fantasy is a genre that I love and one that I can forgive for reusing some of the same old clichés, such as the good guys vs the evil empire setup, or the classic hero's journey tale, because it just wouldn't be epic fantasy without some of these same old things.The one thing, though, that makes this movie stand out more than anything is its director, Zack Snyder. It may seem a little usual for a director who specializes in adult-oriented CGI-heavy action movies to handle a kid's animated adventure like this, but upon seeing the movie, it's clear that he made this one special in a way no one else can. His trademark eye for breathtaking visuals and exquisitely-handled action directing is on full display here. In the hands of someone else, we may have instead gotten the silly cartoony slapstick style more typical of animated movies these days, and not the epic quality action that we see here; so, thank you, Zack Snyder, for making this movie.
View Morethis movie is just fantastic because it has everything.. fun, drama, courage, family, war.. you name it. I watched it in the cinema first time and cried like a big baby at the end. it also goes well with my passion for birds. the visual effects are spectacular, including the slow-mo scenes that remind me of the 300 movie.. so if you're interested in an animation that isn't just meant to make you laugh, but hits all of your emotional sides, while at the same time tickling your senses,this is the movie to watch. I'm not really sure why it's called that way, I heard there was a book and that some users may prefer the book instead of the movie, but oh well, you can't include all of the details from a book inside of a film that only lasts a couple of hours.
View MoreThis movie hit every spot that it was supposed to hit. And I'm not exaggerating ... I can't believe that Guardians of the galaxy is in top 250 IMDb and this movie is not. Toy Story, for god's sake, is in that top and a lot other movies that i would consider crap compared to this one are in there... Don't get me wrong i believe all of those movies deserve a good rating but 7 for this movie is stupid... it's like giving 7 to a really good brownie and 9 to an onion. It just doesn't make sense. Anyways see this movie because is one of the BEST family or otherwise INSPIRATIONAL movies EVER . This is my first review and it's not even a review it's a rant against stupidity (the rent is to damn high :)))
