| Darashiva said: Why do people get so weirdly defensive when someone says they didn't enjoy the movie? I haven't seen the film myself, but from everything I've seen and heard it seems like exactly the kind of disposable fan-service filled children's animation I expected it to be. Looks and sounds great, with story and character development a distant secondary concern, and it's perfectly fine for it to be that. If you like it that's fine, but the argument that the critics are wrong for not liking it as much as the audience did is just childish. |
Indeed. Saw it on Friday. In the end it's another adequate game adaptation like Pokemon and Sonic that's decent enough to be reasonably entertaining and (in this case very) successful but not enough to stand above the crowd in terms of quality. I agree with many of mZuzek's observations and criticisms (especially the licensed music). The industry has finally cracked the code for the small screen but I'm still waiting for the first genuinely great game adaptation for the big screen. The closest might be the recent D&D movie.
