Some things I liked some I did not.
brilliant actors, brilliant editing
It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
View MoreTad is a celebrity archeologist and adventurer just like his hero Max Mordon... in his dreams! In reality, Tad is a Chicago construction worker. One day, however, he is mistaken for a real Professor and takes his place on a flight to Peru in search of the Lost City of Paititi. Professor Lavrof and his beautiful daughter Sara are waiting for the famous professor to crack the code. Unfortunately for Tad, Sara is engaged to real-life hero Max Mordon, but Max has secretly betrayed the Professor by teaming up with the evil Kopponen and his shady Odysseus corporation. Fun animated film with lots of adventure, humor and great animation and kids won't be disappointed. (10/10)
View MoreI watched the trailer , it looked like fun and a lot of Action and comedy, but when you really watch the movie it is totally different, There were more than a couple of moments of Action but it all seemed unnecessary, overdone and excessively overrated.Come to the comedy part it was just cheap and not funny at all.Final judgment, Just find something else.
View MoreHave you ever seen a coconut? IT seems the creators have no idea how a real coconut looks like. I have never seen a modern animated film with so many mistakes, and incoherences.I expected much more from an animated film. Just taking in consideration all the time and effort it gets to create a film of this genre. That is why it is a pity that people waste time and money making a film of such a low quality. I have to say that the work of the animators is great, but it seems not to be a screenwriter.When you tell a story, it doesn't count the effects and the technical quality. The most important thing is to have something to tell, something to teach, and know how to tell it. After Toy Story of Pixar animated films have demonstrated that you can take advantage of animation to create amazing products.To have a good movie it is only needed 2 main ingredients: plausibility and credibility. Without them you have nothing that worth it. People is not stupid, and children are much more intelligent than the director of this film consider.PS: I can see a inferiority complex of the director setting a protagonist in Chicago. Being a Spanish movie full of construction worker it was easy to imagine an Spanish Tadeo. Maybe he sinned of ambition, when putting all the texts in English. Anyway I wouldn't be proud of that stupid protagonist. Terrible the scene of the torero and the jaguar...
View MoreI was dragged along to see this film with other parents and kids and really hated it, and definitely regretted spending my money on it.On the positive side, some of the scenes are very pretty and colourful, and I suppose well made, although I must say I don't know the first thing about film-making.My main objection to the film, apart from how boring and predictable it is (you only need to watch the first 10 minutes to guess the rest), is how the female character and male characters are portrayed.On one hand the female protagonist, Sara, looks like an inflatable sex doll: the pouting collagen lips, and the boobs half hanging out in every shot. They even carefully and lovingly draw in the line of her buttocks in every possible scene.I have nothing against the illustrator drawing in his fantasy female. BUT if you take a look at all the other characters (and except for an elderly woman receptionist, all the other characters are men), all of them are drawn as caricatures: enormous noses, completely out of proportion chins, larger than life muscles, etc. However, no male sexual attributes at all: no bulges in the trousers or even anything remotely attractive about them.I know that sexism exists in real life and that for a woman it's still considered advantageous to look as sexy and attractive as possible, but do we really have to perpetuate this and teach it to our kids as acceptable? Is that the message of the film: middle-aged ugly, big-jowled unshaven uneducated building site worker gets off with the sex bomb? Just to give it some perspective for people who think this is OK: imagine the roles reversed: older ugly cleaning lady gets together with charming Adonis with large bulge in trousers, because he can see her "inner beauty". I would love to see that at the cinema. :P I felt embarrassed for my 7 y.o. daughter while watching it. Some of us parents spend a lot of time trying to teach our daughters that they don't need to look like porn actresses to be loved or to succeed in life, and then along comes the film industry...For me the film could have been quite OK (from a kids' point of view), just by using more graphically-credible or realistic characters.
