Excess of Opinions

Hee-hee, I liked this one.

I get kinda weepy just thinking about this.

Piiiig! Of! DESSStinyyyyy!!!

SUPER cute, in a good, clean fun kind of way, not at all annoying. Amy Adams is truly the bomb diggity, and i had no idea James Marsden was so FUNNY!

hadn’t yet read the book, not looking to revisit my Harry Potter movie-going experiences; THOROUGHLY enjoyed the movie!! a good adaptation, or is ignorance truly bliss?

pretty good, but not much more than a kid’s movie. ILM continues to be pretty but lifeless. OMG, Andrew McCarthy in a cameo!!

completely rad!! the design and backgrounds and textures are completely gorgeous, and the movie just zipped along. really excellent voices filled out a simple, spare plot (like a good martial arts movie ought to have). adorable and really very funny.
maybe not appropriate for small or nervous children, because of Ian McShane’s scary-ass snow leopard. jeebus cripes.

completely adorable and awesome, although i will say that i got a bit of cuteness fatigue towards the end. not that it was in any way saccharine, but that the adorableness and awesomeness was so dense, i lost the ability to process it all.

dude, i saw this movie 4 times in the theater. just couldn’t get enough of it. LOVED IT.

acting was good, Saoirse Ronan is terrific and her american accent is as good as her english. pretty sets.

that said, i know i brought it on myself by reading the book, but SRSLY, giant mutant animals?! conspiracy subplot?! WTF?! it was like the screenwriter had his 8-year-old read the book and tell him about it in 10 minutes or less, then made up the rest. the made-up crap doesn’t even make SENSE, and was so counter to the core of the story. clearly whoever adapted this completely did not get the book.
