Big Hero 6 (2014)
Fun to watch but that is all the film has going for it.
Big Hero 6 has a lot to live up to, after last year's crazy phenomenon Frozen.
Sadly, this film did not live up to previous Walt Disney Animation works.
Big Hero 6 has its cute and fun moments but for being something of substance it lacks many qualities for being a great film.
The weak points are the story and characters. Hiro, Tadashi, and Baymax get plenty of development but they are the only ones. The rest of the group of high-tech nerds, get little development and sadly, are just all clichés: Tough girl, comic nerd, Totally Spies blonde girl ripoff.
I am a nerd, geek, comic book loving, anime loving, and super hero loving girl. I hear a lot of reviewers give this film high rates because they say they are nerds/geeks and they love that nostalgia/culture thrown in the film. But... just because you like nerdy things does not mean you have to like all those things. I find it odd and impossible that one person categorized as nerd/geek has to automatically like Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings, Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. I myself love Marvel and Who but I have grown tired of Star Wars and am no fan of Harry Potter. People keep getting upset when I say something negative about this film, yet they never give me a good reason as to why they feel this film is so amazing.
A few friend of mine love Disney but said they thought Big Hero 6 was cute or fun, but don't see owning it anytime soon. And that is what this movie is. A good one shot viewing and not a long lasting one.
This film just did not get to me. I felt it was like every other "hero" film. The story was simple and just went all over the place at times, with a few "plot holes" such as the ending with Baymax and the whole villain thing.
In the end, Big Hero 6 was entertaining to watch, like Transformers but it also is as much an actual film as Transformers, meaning, all pretty effects and no real story or characters to look up to.
Sorry but Disney dropped the ball this time. I applaud them trying something new, but, I feel as years go on this will be just a cute little film and that is it. Nothing truly remarkable about it.
And I did watch the whole film, I understood it, I wasn't bored or having ADD moments as some defenders I know have whined about.
I like movies. I know what I like and dislike. I study film and even help friends make some at school. I prefer story, plot, and character over CGI, explosions, and unoriginal ideas.
The cameo was cool. I admit that.
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
A fresh new sci-fi/hero film.
I never heard of GotG before until they released the first trailer. I loved how different it looked. I was so anticipating it.
Then came the release date. I was so excited. When it ended I liked it but did not love it. A slight let down, but only a slight one. It did not live up to my expectations but this movie was great.
It was funny, fresh, new, and something you don't see from DC. I am glad Marvel does this stuff. Rocket and Groot stole the film for me, but Star Lord was great too.
I enjoyed the film in theaters, but I guess the down side for me was it still didn't feel like it was complete and maybe the 2nd will fill that void.
All in all, GotG was one of the most enjoyable films of 2014. Looking forward to part 2.
Feast (2014)
Cute dog in a same old same old story.
The dog was cute and the animation style was cool.
The problem with me was the actual storyline. First, it took forever to get to the actual plot, I mean a dog acting cute and happy over human food is well, cute and funny but I want to see a story too.
The story ended up being the same old tiring love story and the dog reuniting the two lovers.
I was reminded of Paperman and The Blue Umbrella... and I loved those shorts. This seemed just like those. Sorry, but next time, please make a short that is different, like you did with Get a Horse.
This short was at least better than the feature that followed it.
Average. 5/10.
