Forums - Movies & TV - So did you enjoy Brave?

It was charming and interesting, the story was strong and the characters interesting, definitely underrated. Also, it's one of the most astonishing and beautiful movies I've ever seen.

Had some minor flaws, and it's not my favorite Pixar movie, but it's not in the Hall of Shame with Cars 1/2.

What did you think of it?

I enjoyed it but it seemed too "rushed" for my taste.

SPOILERS:
The story moves very fast from her mother transforming into a bear, to her learning to cope with it, returning to the castle, making up with her daughter to the final confrontation. I think they spent too much time setting up the plot with the 3 potential husbands and ran out of time to explore the main plot.



Signature goes here!

I liked it. Again, it had some flaws and a couple of plot holes that I can't remember off the top of my head but I enjoyed it a lot. Hope it made a lot of money.



Brave is definitely worthy of the Pixar name, and while it's not in the upper echelon of the studio's films (like Toy Story 3, Up, and The Incredibles), it's still a solid film with a lot of heart.

I agree that the movie is underrated, as it got too much flak for not being a game changer like previous Pixar films. It's definitely very traditional, especially when compared to other Disney films. It is, in essence, a classic Princess movie... but that doesn't mean it's not a great film. It looks incredible, the voice work is wonderful, the soundtrack is fantastic (just bought it off iTunes), and like I said before, the story, while simple, has a lot of heart.

I gave it an 8/10 (Great) and I stand by that score. Brave is indeed a great movie! ^_^

I think last time I checked it made around 179 Mill? I'm not totally sure but that sounds alright for a Pixar film. They usually do really good. (Especially Toy Story.)

Agree with you totally, but you forgot to add the jawdropping scenery.

Also, what did you think of Cars 2? That one and Cars 1 are the movies that IMO didn't belong to Pixar's magic.

And yeah, A Bug's Life did belong to Pixar's good side.

Yeah, I was sitting next to my brother, and when the movie started he leaned over and said "I thought this was supposed to be a CG movie?".

While Cars 1 was a fine movie (while I abhor Larry the Cable Guy, the story itself was a fine one. Still, it's second to last on my Pixar ranking list.), Cars 2 is a total travesty. I still can't believe it's a Pixar film... heck, the majority of DreamWorks and even Sony Animation movies are better than that movie. I felt like it was just a ploy meant to strengthen the retail brand...

Bugs Life isn't my favorite Pixar movie, but I found it better than both Cars films.

Here's how I would rank the Pixar movies:

13. Cars 2
12. Cars
11. A Bug's Life
10. Toy Story 2
9. Brave
8. Monsters Inc.
7. Ratatouille
6. Finding Nemo
5. Toy Story
4. Wall-E
3. The Incredibles
2. Toy Story 3
1. Up

Just for the hell of it, here's how I would rank them.

13. Cars 2

11. A Bug's Life (A huge gap with Cars)

10. Finding Nemo (Yeah, sue me)

9. Toy Story 2

8. Brave

7. Toy Story

6. Up

5. Wall - E

4. The Incredibles

3. Toy Story 3

2. Monster's Inc.

1. Ratatouille

Also, the short before the movie was amazing.



Eh, just ok. It was a bit short and has all the hallmarks of the Director wanting to go one direction and the studio pulling the plug on said direction (which is what actually happened). The story was VERY simple, the gags were too.

I'd put it around the same area as Bug's Life, Cars and The Incredibles as Pixar's least good movies.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."
