Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

My daughter wanted to see this movie when it came out, so we took her. It was God-awful. So much so that I was tempted to pinch my youngest child so she;d cry and we could leave. I have seen some bad movies, but I would rather watch them all at once instead of sitting through this movie again. The storyline is so out of line and the plot is very thin. Whatever you do, avoid this film like the plague.

I don't know where to start?? This movie was THE single worst movie I've seen in my life(at least as long as I can remember) filled to it's below standard brim with new age dribble. Horrible God references. My daughter was watching it one night and I actually took it out and threw it away, something I've NEVER done with ANY of her movies. Please I can't stress enough, don't lead your children astray and let them watch this dung heap of a movie. I actually created an account to leave this review

For one thing, it's kind of dull. It's based on one of those large, thin books parents buy to read to their pre-school children and select mainly based on the illustrations. The dilemma of the protagonist, that he's one dolphin who "still dares to dream" is not that compelling or relatable. It's an empty cliché married to cuteness. For another, it's dubbed, clumsily, from Spanish. Apparently all they did was closely translate the original and re-record a new voice track. No attempt to re-synch the characters' mouths and definitely no thought given to adapting the content for differing cultural sensibilities. Result: characters inserted purely for comic relief become total annoyances.In its defense, its look and its cgi work are not bad. Not quite Finding Nemo or Finding Dorrie quality, but not too far below it. Thing is, you've seen those movies, you won't be dazzled by this. But I give it a lot of credit for achieving what it does on a Peruvian budget and being that country's first major cgi animation release. Problem with cgi animation is that it evokes in dumb people the attitude "How dare you show this to me - I've seen Pixar!" So they take to internet to write thought provoking reviews like "This is the WORST movie I have EVER seen!" - believe me, if you've seen Divergent, you've seen a worse movie than this. (And if they're real d-bags, they post a YT video of themselves wild eyed, and frantically gesticulating, starting every sentence with an OMG, pointing out all the obvious deficiencies in the dialogue and acting if sub-Pixar quality animation is an outrage against humanity.)Bottom line: if you've got a school aged kid who's not too critical, who you need to occupy for a few hours, who's seen all the other kid flicks in the On Demand Free Movies bin, this one will do. And if you stop and look at it yourself for a few minutes, please, don't take to your webcam to rant on it.

Awful says it all. The script reminds me of something I may have written in grade 5. You know how you're supposed to write a rough draft and then have it proofread, refined, rewritten, and then maybe 8 drafts later end up with the final copy? this felt like maybe... draft 1 or 2.The CGI was abysmal, the only movie with more awful CGI that I've seen is Hoodwinked (another awful awful movie!). The characters seemed to only have 2, possibly 3 facial expressions, none of which actually fit the scene they were in.AND THE SONG! Where to begin? how about staying on key? how about creative lyric writing? how about hiring someone older than 3 years old to compose your ONE AND ONLY song????? gag me with a mouldy barnacle.I went into this movie with the hope that I may have some killer one- liners to laugh about later. None existed. I was hoping for some lame lame lame scenes to shake my head at tomorrow and say, why did I watch this? The movie is even too lame to do that with! You remember in Junior High when you do something that just completely shakes your existence (in a bad way) ?? well, when I look back at having wasted 1.5 hours of my life on this film, those Junior High moments will loom up and superimpose themselves onto this film.How many more awful things can I say about this movie? tons. However, I don't want the producer/director/anyone else associated with it, to hunt me down and curbstomp me for going on and on and on about how terrible it was.Don't watch it. There are no redeeming qualities. I would rather have watched Passchendale than this movie.Oh, my Wife just reminded me of the ONLY funny part... when Daniel is trying to turn a shark into a Vegan, Carl is stuffing fish into a crack in the rock behind them. Yes, I chuckled at this part, but then proceeded to bash my head against the wall for the rest of the film and forgot about it.I think I'm getting close to the 1000 word max, so again, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS MOVIE.
