Weekend Movie - Legend of the Guardians

I had absolutely no desire to see Legend of the Guardians because it just looked bad, but my grandma really wanted to see it and I'm a nice grand daughter so I took her to see the movie on Saturday night. I heard the CG and animation was amazing, but the story wasn't so great. That review was completely spot on. There were so many holes in the story line, my grandma and I could barely follow it. At one point, there was a plot change and we kind of looked at each other and thought "when the hell did that happen?" If we can't follow the story, how the hell are the kids supposed to follow it?

Just like any other kids movie, the plot is good versus evil and the good overcoming the evil and living happily ever after. As I said, the CG was kind of amazing. I was so distracted by the owls. They were pretty amazing looking, although their beaks were kind of creepy and I couldn't stop looking at them, but otherwise the animation was pretty awesome. I saw it in 3D because because that was the only way my grandma wanted to see it. There were only a few 3D moments where something would pop out of the screen, but for the most part it didn't seem 3D. It was kind of a waste of money in that respect. So if you have kids, don't torture yourself with this movie. The kids will love it, but you'll want to die a little. Wait for a Pixar movie instead.
