Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Best version of folk tales! My kids with know this movie and understand that just because it's make believe doesn't mean you can't hae faith and hope that all things are possible.

Truly amazing animated adventure, that takes the beloved iconic characters and puts a new spin on them and almost turns them into superheroes(in a good way)! The animation is very good and character designs are great, voice cast is also top notch. The story is full of wonder and magic and is quite moving. One of the movies that grownups can enjoy as much as the children, if not even more. Very cool premise turned into a great movie!

Rise of the Guardians (2012): Dir: Peter Ramsey / Voices: Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman, Isla Fisher, Jude Law: Corrupt holiday family animated candy coated crap with a title that references the promise of goodness emerging from each holiday. It is like a holiday version of The Avengers only instead of the Hulk, Thor and Captain America we have Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. The problem is that the super heroes are intended for action and a certain amount of violence but these holiday theme characters are faulted with unlikely qualities. We have Santa Claus brandishing swords. We have a feisty Easter Bunny with an Australian accent throwing boomerangs. We have the lady Tooth Fairy who protects the memories of teeth. Finally we have Jack Frost whom kids cannot see because they do not believe in him. The one interesting character is Frost who desires to learn where he came from. He is recruited to assist the other Guardians in battling the Boogeyman / Pitch Black. He creates nightmares and aims to make children not believe in the guardians. Director Peter Ramsey is backed with dazzling animation but the story is preposterous. The movie seems fitted for its action and violence and that seems to go against the theme of the characters. The cast would do better starring live in a better film as oppose to wasting their voices in this holiday farce. It just seems that the only guardians who should rise are the parents who should really demonstrate the good nature of these characters and not subject their children to this holiday rubbish. Score: 3 ½ / 10

I seen this in the cinemas 3 years ago with my cousin and I thoroughly enjoyed it.I happened to be watching it last night on TV as it was on so on to the review.Rise Of The Guardians is a Dreamworks Animation movie that tells the tale of Jack Frost(voiced by Into The Woods star Chris Pine)who isn't believed in with the kids as they don't know him as much as the other guardians. One day however and he happens to be chosen by the guardians and he teams up with Santa Clause(voiced by Alec Baldwin with a Russian Accent who is from 30 Rock),Tooth Fairy(voiced by The Great Gatsby's Isla Fisher),the Sandman who doesn't talk,and an Aussie Easter Bunny(voiced by X-Men star and Aussie Actor Hugh Jackman). Together they try and defeat the evil bogeyman named Pitch Black(voiced by The Holiday's Jude Law) who like Jack isn't believed in either and wants the rest of the guardians to suffer just like him. So can the guardians make the kids believe in them and stop Pitch Black from ruining the children's dreams and imaginations forever?Bottom line I enjoyed it the first time I watched it and again last night after 3 years watching it last. The story was very well done,the voice acting is great(it was nice to hear Hugh Jackman use his own accent and not to be putting on another accent as he doesn't use his own accent that much in his films)but the real surprise was Alec Baldwin as Santa Clause with a Russian accent. He really nailed it as his charcther in the movie. Chris Pine sounded very old for Jack Frost but he did a good job since this was his first animated debut.If you love animation like me and want a feel-good movie to watch then check it out. Roll on ROTG II.
