Reviews
Diagonaldi Very well executed
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Nelson Strang Just doesn't have any of the magic of a Disney or Pixar film. I've been thinking hard on where this goes wrong and it could be due to the large number of characters - there are just too many to keep track of and there's no real clear principal character to root for. It's all a bit confused. Nice to look at, though.
Mihai Toma Surly, an exiled, selfish and self-centered squirrel teams up with some other animals to raid a nut shop in other to help the exact same park which threw him away. At the same time, in the same building, a similar job is being planned and executed by humans but with a higher stake.It's a very linear story full of expected events interfering from time to time with ridiculous decisions. The characters are badly created with inexplicable personalities and judgment which obviously do not transmit any emotion or feeling to the viewer. Judging by the trailers, it should have been funny, entertaining and interesting but sadly, I have to say that they were a lot better than this entire movie. No laughter, no story, no characters, no nothing. It looks great and it is well animated though, but that's about it. I cannot recommend a movie just because it looks good, not even an animation and especially not this one. A bad film overall.
Leon Eighties Radford Pretty much what my title says, is my review.Animation that would have been amazing in the year 2000, when the PS2 was launched.Terrible voice acting of stereotyped characters.The whole story is nothing new. You've seen it before in "A Bugs Life" and "Over The Hedge". Except both of those movies do the job a whole lot better. In fact, this movie just seems (to me) to be a wholesale rip off of "Over The Hedge"Having said all of that, My 5-year-old daughter enjoyed the movie.
Carly Pressman I was tricked into watching this movie particularly due to the decent animation. My cousin and I got all excited when my father took us to see this movie thinking it was gonna be good. Boy, we were wrong! The majority of the voice actors (especially Liam Neeson) sound like they hate the film, the jokes suck and are inappropriate, and the frequent use of the song Gangnam Style (which I hate) is annoying as crap. The only thing I liked about this film was the dog (don't remember her name) who thought her tail had a mind of its own when she wagged it. That's all. I totally regret having my parents watch this movie. This is one out of several bad films I've seen with my family that we never speak of.I'll stick with Alvin and The Chipmunks no matter how bad people say it is because I actually enjoyed it.
