Joe's Movie reviews: Epic

Thumbs up. Def classify under feel good movie of the summer. Nature was, as expected, beautifully rendered. The music was fantastic (Danny Elfman duh). I think they wanted to pull together an adventure fantasy movie boys and girls would enjoy and I think they pulled it off and while keeping the girls all the princess and flowers and the boys all the warrior soldiers. There were no evil girl charecters asfaras I know but who can tell the sex of a bat right? I think they got in trouble a little at the editing table a few times - there is a charecter killed off at an early point in the movie which leads to a need to replace that charecter..but it turns out that the event that killed the charecter off was the start of seeking his replacement..so if he had just not gone on that mission, which wasnt needed at the time because he was still alive, he never would have died. Bleh its a kids movie..just roll with it. Anyhoo fantatic voiceacting and charecters! Whoever did the bad guy really nailed the role. This movie will prob sell a metric ton of toys as that clearly was one goal..but its ok cause fighting to save nature from rot and decay is a decent subliminal toy messages as those tend to go. I hate myself for saying this but with all the flying and zipping about I wonder this might be a movie worth seeing in 3D..

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
