Saw this yesterday and wanted to wait over night and get my thoughts in order before posting:
So overall this wasn't better than Nemo for me, better to just out right put that out there. Finding Dory never made me feel that special feeling like when I saw Finding Nemo for the first time, why that is who knows. I just feel like Nemo from a plot wise flowed better than perhaps Dory so when you're watching it nothing ever felt out of place, whereas I think Dory in areas in the middle I kind of lost focus.
Other than that though I think this was another solid film for Pixar, and I'm very glad with what I got after seeing the very un-impressive trailers for Dory. It has some flaws, but the good that this film brings to not only everyone but especially those with disabilities that can relate to this makes up for it. The new characters, especially hank, were good. It might just be me, but I found Marlin and Nemo kind of dragged the story a bit and were uninteresting. I almost preferred if the movie were mostly all Dory because whenever she was on I liked it. And for me, I'm not sure how I feel about Dory actually reuniting with her parents. I almost feel like it would have been more realistic and better had she not found them and left it back in the quarantine zone because to be honest that was my guess of what was going to happen as she went missing years ago. It felt a bit cliche for her to just randomly bump into them, but I do get that this is a kid's film to I understand why they made it that way.
Overall this was a pretty solid film that I'd go see again. I'd give it a 7.5/10 and a low B+ rating (86).
