lab276 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Maybe Brave could fit with the theme too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Brave is just so vague, it could be a movie about anything. Up fit with the theme of the houses and Wall-E was the name of the character. Brave is just... an adjective. Yes, my point exactly. It could be about literally anything. Too all-encompassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Watch the movie first before deciding it doesn't fit any themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackO Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I'm going to see this in half an hour. I'll give my opinion of it when I come back. Cool beans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I expected more from these critics. It's ok if BRAVE isn't a classic but the ways some critics criticized this were just wtf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yads Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I expected more from these critics. You expected more from critics than giving their opinion on the movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Yes. Opinions are okay but please...the recent one deserves a wtf response. "...bears figure prominently into this, more so than I would have liked. And I'm a fan of bears." I mean, seriously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Like they reviewed the film without knowing it was THE BEAR AND THE BOW before? Talk about educating yourselves first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraserhead Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Pixar might have two rotten movies in a row after years of nothing but fresh films? Interesting. I actually thought the trailers for this looked pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totem Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Has there been some sort of dynamic shift at Pixar that might be causing these problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I praying Monsters University puts them back on track and doesn't go the route of Cars 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Has there been some sort of dynamic shift at Pixar that might be causing these problems? I just remember an article that said a lot of the movie ideas even for Ratatouille and Wall-E have been created more than a decade ago at first brainstormings. When Pixar wasn't a legend yet. Maybe they try harder now to get new ideas and have lost part of their nonchalance and innocence. Don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Has there been some sort of dynamic shift at Pixar that might be causing these problems? The director of Brave is a first-timer. Not to mention that the movie struggled a bit when the original director who is a woman by the way, was replaced. Nevertheless, the end product as it appears is good but not exceptional.

Fanboy Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Ok, I just got back. Critics are seriously wrong. This isn't Cars 2 or even the first Cars IMO. In fact, I'd go as far as to say this could be considered as a classic in the Pixar pantheon. All this "too safe, too conventional" crap is BS. The movie is actually pretty bold, especially for a kids movie. It is much darker than most animated movies and every Pixar movie before it. There were children about 6 or 7 crying because it got so scary in some parts. The only thing I would call 'safe' is humour at parts that could have been very emotional. I can see why they did that though, as it would have been too emotionally intense for kids to handle. The visuals, are just stunning. I know it's an animated movie, but the movie has quite good use of cinematography. Almost as good as HTTYD. The score is amazing. If it doesn't get a nomination, I would sell my soul to the Devil before I sell it to the Academy. As far as flaws go, again there are 'could have been' moments in funny parts and the movie could have been even better if it was 15-20 minutes longer as it was a little rushed. As of now I'd say it's the second best movie of the year behind The Cabin in the Woods, which is enough to give it the A grade or 9/10. I think I'll see SW&TH to see if critics got that wrong too. Is June really that disappointing? This should have good legs. At least a 3.5x multiplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Pixar wasn't a legend yet. Maybe they try harder now to get new ideas and have lost part of their nonchalance and innocence. Don't know. Yes, a bunch of the big guys at Pixar sat down around the time of TS1 and basically came up with all the ideas for all of their movies from A Bug's Life to Up. So that could very well be the problem. They've officially done all the great ideas they had. Now they're kind of aimless so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
