weak story, screenplay, uninspired film-making
18 July 2008
Well, maybe the summary says it all. I don't understand why so many people seem to like this movie. The biggest problem for me is the story/screenplay itself and the characters. It all doesn't feel lived through. I just see a bunch of superficial, stereotypical characters, trying to overcome clichéd, uninspired obstacles. starting with a bad story, screenplay it's obvious that you can't have good characters/acting. If you want to see the exact opposite of this movie, go watch the Iron giant, Ratatouille, The Incredibles, Wall-E, ...

The bowler hat guy is probably the most uncharismatic, uninspired, superficial character i've ever seen in an animation movie. The acting, the gags, it all feels really lame, probably because of the story. You can't have good acting, characters if the story's bad. It's something that I think works both ways. Anton Ego (ratatouille), now that's a well fleshed out characters. The way he moves, talks, looks, acts, it all feels right. Just as the chef, skinner.
