What this guy said. I mean, come on - it's like one of the best mainstream animated films released in the last fifteen years, at least.

That movie was dull and lifeless and There were no interesting characters.It felt like they intentionally tried to suck all the fun out of the film.It was like a CG equivalent of Balto with penguins.

Sorry.I'm just more hyper critical of animated films.In a medium where you can do anything.Nobody takes full advantage of it.

So many animated films as of late are being done in so many genres, from sci-fi to westerns to contemporary tales. You said, "Nobody takes full advantage of it." what do you mean? If I'm wrong here please correct me! Is it that none of these animated films are R-Rated fare, as to why you don't feel the medium is being used to it's full advantage?

No,it's not that it just feels like the same story over and over.Just masked by it being in a new setting.Stylistically and Storywise it all feels the same to me.I just would like to see something new and exciting.

It's like I understand your view of the movie so clearly, now.

Owls are awesome, look at them, so curious and beau... HOLY S**T, WHAT THE FFFFFF**K!!!! He ate the whole thing!!!!!!!

Getting back to the topic, I recently bought Happy Feet on BR for my mom's birthday, I friend told that it's quite a nice film. I saw Ga´Hoole's trailer with Last Airbender and just found out that Snyder's behind it, so I suppose that at least it will be a nice visual experience.

The one at the back scares me the most.

Dawn of the Dead says hi.

to get this kind of feathers you need to use little hair particles and translucence. all of this is expensive already.add on top of all of this global illumination and soft reflections and you have a super expensive movie.
this is not just like a Pixar movie. you have sometimes 3-4 owls on the screen all with complex feathers .

there is no way that this movie was cheap or even close to normal animated movies.

this was EXPENSIVE.........and i like it

 

[Project862006]

according to Wikipedia it cost 180 million

 

[terry78]

Oh ****. This does have a Don Bluth feel to it though, and for that I am gonna check it out.

 

[Project862006]

apparently this movie i more violent than i thought lol from variety

the film's increasingly brutal violence and unrelenting tenor of terror. There are throat slashings, impalements with flaming spikes and dramatic tumbles into lakes of fire, and several characters seem to spend the entire film doing little but trembling and cowering in horror. While these incidents obviously lack the gooey visceral details with which Snyder would likely have imbued them in "300," they still feel wildly inappropriate for a film marketed to children.

[dark_b]

f..... little kids

ohhh yeah

 

[DarkSovereignty]

eh, i think its high time little kids learn that the real world is a scary place filled to the gills with murderous owls.

 

[GhostPoet]

I am so sick of talking animal CGI. Come on Hollywood!

 

[Project862006]

solid reviews so far

A classical heroic odyssey that boasts a spirit similar to that of The Secret of N.I.M.H., and is enhanced by such sumptuous 3-D CGI it would make Pixar blush.

Snyder has crafted the rare 3-D eyegasm that's worth the premium ticket price.

A sweeping, grand explosion of animated entertainment, skillfully assembled by Snyder...a tremendously engaging, inspired movie, and should not be overlooked by family audiences hungry for a rousing change of pace.

In an age of "let’s all get along" pabulum, there’s much to like in a cartoon not afraid to show its talons.
