Ball Lightning Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Saw this today at the preview screening in Melbourne. Absolutely gorgeous. Story was not as strong as pixar often is, but it is definitely in the same tier (for me) as Ratatouille, A Bugs Life and Monsters Inc. Just didn't have that special thing that Up and Toy Story had, though in most part that is probably due to the mother-daughter relationship which didn't connect with me as much as it would if I was a girl 9/10 for me. Definitely will have normal pixar legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punishment Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Exhibitor Relations 20 hours ago Pixar's BRAVE will debut in an ultra-wide 4,000+ sites next weekend. Look for a debut of $70+ million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceroll Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 70% on RT now. Uh oh. 64 I'm getting scared. RT scores almost always drop so if it's 64% now it might end up rotten... 2 rotten Pixar films in a row is really, really bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Cars 2 is not nearly as bad as the reviews say it is. I believe the same is happening here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceroll Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Cars 2 is not nearly as bad as the reviews say it is. I believe the same is happening here. Most reviews indicate it's "not bad" or "okay". That's not exactly what people go into Pixar movies expecting. If it's "only decent" then WOM will be pretty bad. That's the downside of having such an acclaimed brand.

TLK Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I think some people are saying that while the animation quality is great, it gets very dark with 3D and there are a lot of night sequences. PIXAR can get away with a lot of things but they can't get away with a less than stellar visuals if the reports are correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
