Good start, but then it gets ruined
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
View MoreOverall movie is okay, but throughout there is a repeated phrase,"All creatures great and small." Some of you may recognize it, as it is the most famous quote by James Herriot, the famous british veterinarian.
View MorePlot - Everything is cliche and predictable. There is no creativity or originality here. There are lots of plotholes, and there is no message. This movie is extremely boring and designed to appeal to pretty much every demographic. There are several interesting ideas hidden in this movie, but they're just mixed together to create this garbage. The fact that the characters are animals doesn't contribute anything to the plot. Characters - None of the characters are original or interesting in any way. Animation - The animation is lazy, boring, and full of continuity errors. Humor - This movie has a lot to work with. There are lots of interesting ideas that could've been implemented here. There are many cheap jokes that could've been made. Surprisingly enough, this movie never (except for maybe 2 sight gags) makes a joke relating to the different species and the fact that they're animals. There isn't even anything to say about this movie because there is nothing here. This is a product designed purely to make money. There was no creativity put into this thing. The people who made this movie didn't have a story to tell - they just wanted to make money. Unfortunately the general public is stupid and they just ate up this unoriginal drivel. If you want to watch an interesting and creative animated childrens' movie where the main characters are animals, then go watch Zootopia (which this movie was banking on the popularity of). Its not the greatest movie ever, but its fun and original.
View MoreSimply outstanding(!) and far better than what professional critics and amateur reviewers say. It's really one the best animated films of the decade. If you don't want a musical but prefer superhero fighting, ok, it's not for you. But in terms of originality, laughter and songs, this is the best animated film. I've seen probably more films than most critics and seen the best, so trust me on this. I will go through some critics points which I don't think are valid.1. Originality and moral theme: Sing has multiple storylines and they move quickly so it's hard to focus on one moral line like the Lion King or Monsters, Inc. But each story has a terrific line which are not necessarily trite cliches. For one, Rosita is an overwork mother pig with a ridiculously large family. Frankly, I have never seen a story line like that since one of those movies from the 1960s or earlier (e.g, Yours, Mine and Ours). But it's a funny take on a multi-tasking mom who wants a life outside homemaking. Meena is the shy elephant who can sing but is afraid...I don't know any movies that carry that story line unless one means the reality shows where we find a Susan Boyle or two. I have not seen a Buster Moon dreamer in a movie in a long time. You could compare the storylines to one of those 70s movies on dancing but this is different. Ash fires quills when she sings, Buster acts as a carwash mop, Ms Crawly is always losing her glass eye. Tell me you have seen all that in other movies. I'm sorry critics. This is a very original film. And the storylines are terrific: overcoming fear, shyness, learning to stand on your own (from your boyfriend), learning not to just be an overworked mom, trying to face up to your dad, live up to your dad, dream. I could stop there, but I wonder what people missed?2. Humor: people seriously thought it wasn't that funny? Miss Crawly's glass eye? Buster Moon and the moon? Gunter dancing? Rosita in the supermarket? The baboon Mike attacks? Buster wakes up in...? It has far too many funny moments, almost nonstop especially with some characters.3. Songs: it's a unique film since Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlance, Tori Kelly join up with Jennifer Hudson, Stevie Wonder and Ariana Grande...and the songs are terrific.Aside from that, the animation and direction were terrific, as good as any animated film. The characters, squids and the flood were exemplary in outstanding animation.Ok, the plot was relatively simple even with the running storylines. If you don't like to laugh, don't want to hear a great soundtrack and songs, and a fast-paced movie, then this isn't for you.
View MoreWhile I saw this film I supposed it is child film. However it was so great. It is about animals' voices. Every animal wanted to won voice competition but anybody didn't win because of mishap. Characters are also different. I like most Gunter because it has high energy. Film has got amazing songs. The songs have written for the film. I love most Ash's song , Set It All Free. Scarlett johansen vocalized this song.
