whoot Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 /Film 7/10 Yipes. Is that a rotten? Sounds like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackO Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 /Film 7/10 I don't understand this review....so the movie succeeds in execution but because the critic expected something different it should get penalized? I expect much better from Slashfilm. So far so good. But it’s at this point that Brave changes. We won’t spoil it here because the reveal has so purposefully been left out of all the marketing (though I’m sure it’s been spoiled elsewhere), but the film undergoes such a surprising, drastic shift, it’s almost like it reboots itself. That makes it almost sound like Wall-E. All the critics hated the 2nd act but that was the point. You could say the same about Up too. As soon as they landed on the island the film "changed."

fishstick Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I haven't seen it, but is not Brave basically Mars Needs Moms? Children annoyed by Mom - wishing to be rid of her - getting more than they bargained for? Yep, that`s exactly what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Yipes. Is that a rotten? Sounds like it... 7/10 is not rotten. With the headline and the final paragraph, it's definitely gotta be counted as fresh. Edited June 14, 2012 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iEye Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) I agree is's fresh but it'll drive the RT average down a bit. Edited June 14, 2012 by iEye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 7/10 is fresh no question. It`s just that it isn`t the kind of fresh that used to be reserved for Pixar. Overall, it seems that critical concensus will be it`s good but not among the best of Pixar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 This reception almost makes me more anxious to see it so I can judge for myself whether it's really lesser Pixar or if they're being too hard on it in light of Cars 2 and/or its promises of "feminism" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanboy Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I'm ok with another Cars 1 if it means Pixar are getting back to where they were before Cars 2. I think the actual plot we didn't see in the trailers makes it sound much less conventional than what we did see, so I don't know why critics would call it "safe" if they were expecting it to be like the trailer.

MovieMan89 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I think this movie is headed to like a 7.2-7.4 average high 70 percent finish. Disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasanahmad Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) A 7 for pixar is like a 5 for a dreamworks animation movie. Its becoming increasingly clear it will be a good animation feature but not great that you expect from pixar? It almost sounds from the reviews they had a 2 great films and they combined both to make a good film with less cohesion than a typical pixar flick Edited June 14, 2012 by Hasan Ahmad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
