The Freak's Rating:
A- : I have been a Pixar junkie since Toy
Story. I was disappointed that they
weren't attached to Bolt's development as I feel
it could have been enough to send the rating to
a solid A. Pixar does animation on a whole
different level and sadly all other animators
are held to their standard. Bolt goes back
to basic animation, but adds an element that
will soon be taking over movie theaters...Real
3D. Real 3D is the future people,
especially when it comes to digital animation.
If you have seen Bolt already, but not in Real
3D, consider seeing it again. The
technology has excelled far above previous
generations, with a seemless transition for your
eyes and no red/blue layers of film on the
glasses.
The
storyline of Bolt is wonderfully written.
It is easily relatable on all age levels and
hilarious to boot. Dialogue is smart and
pacing is sharp, never allowing a lull to sink
in. Characters of the film are instantly
classic such as the groups of pigeons and the
hamster in his ball.
Voice
casting is done well with Miley Cyrus, as her
raspy voice is instantly recognizable to younger
generations. Travolta is an odd choice as
Bolt, obviously done for parents' benefit, but
never having enough punch to carry the character
home. With so much emphasis on Bolt as the
primary character, a stronger actor would have
been a better choice. Not withstanding the
Travolta option, other casting in the film is
done quite well.
Bolt
is a good family picture, sporting plenty of
comedy and dog mannerisms to attach audiences
and keep both parents and kids laughing.
It isn't quite up there with Nemo, but it blows
the heck out of any straight to video release.
Jen's Rating:
A- : We saw this in 3D which I highly
recommend if possible in your area. This movie
was adorable and very entertaining. I
especially liked the pigeons, they got the
movement of their heads so accurate and they
were also hilarious. Much better than Wall-E,
it seems Disney is back on track.
Sebastian's
Rating: B+ : It's seeing you say that wall-e
was a dissapointment to you and this movie was
better, made me go see this film.
At first the beggining was brilliant. the action
was non stop entertainment. Considered well done
to me. The second thing I like about this movie
is The charactors;The pigions had me cracking
up, and the hamster in the ball was just so cute
it made you laugh, especially when he's like 'I
eat DANGER for BREAKFAST!' Haha, classic.
What dissapointed me was the storyline. It was
so well done, and the ending was really good,
but it didn't have that feel to it. The meanings
of the story felt like it has been done before,
and the quallities of the movie were there, but
it didn't appear though.
It's harsh to say thata pixar made junkie films
after toy story, to be honest, they are
improving dramaticly, and not just in the
animation. And just to note: Pixar is not
disney, so if pixar ever make a bad thing (rare)
don't blame it on disney, vice versa.
I found wall-e to be a beautiful movie, already
seen it 4 times. It was silly but the mushy
ending and the feel good feel to it made it an
enjoyableexperience you'll never forget.
The Shou's
Rating: A- : For its genre this film is
quite a good film. It has a very original
storyline, in-depth characters, good animation
and a fairly good cast.
Bolt is unique as a viewer you become
emotionally attached to the dog and cat (even if
you're a dog person). The characters were really
well developed.
The animation in this movie is fairly good for a
non-pixar film. I guess its what you expect of a
CG film.
The concept of this film is original there
aren't too many films with a similar concept.
Although the storyline is rather basic (dog and
cat hate each other, then become friends and
then split and then finally living happily ever
after.
The casting is quite interesting. After watching
the film I discovered that John Travolta was
responsible for the voice of Bolt. I was
shocked, he doesn't seem to be the sort of cute
and cuddly guy.
Overall it was a good film, I highly recommend
that you watch it as it is an enjoyable
experience.
