a bit disappointing tbh. its nice and the animation's tactile feel is just as good as it's always been, but I didn't find it that funny. nice way to kill time but not much more than that

Early Man is a shocking misfire for Aardman Studios. Having a caveman end up in the Bronze Age and just making it a movie about soccer is the definition of wasting a very good premise. There’s nothing here you haven’t seen before, and most of the humor falls on the dumb side of silly dumb. None of the characters are particularly memorable, and the only one actually voice-acting is Tom Hiddleston. The stop-motion animation is still nice, and there’s some fun moments here and there. Overall though, Early Man is just a disappointing film that lacks any real level of intrigue. Very blah. D
