We actually went into the movie with relatively low expectations. However, although the character relationship storylines were as expected for an animated feature, the overall package was extremely well done and very entertaining. Throughout the movie, the dialog and situations provided plenty of laughs for all ages. And the visuals were excellent ... espeically the 3D effects. There was enough fun, charm and action to satisfy everyone.
Superior entertainment! This is one of the best action/suspense movies that my wife and I have seen in a long time. Smart, fast-paced, yet very human without relying on the action scenes to support the film. The cinematography, characters, acting and all other aspects of the film were simply outstanding. I can't really say anything negative unless I do some serious nitpicking ... which I won't. Go see this movie on the big screen! Well worth your time and money.
First, the quality of the animation and 3D effects were simply amazing. The overall story line was predicatable but still entertaining. The characters were fun with good dialog. There were many hysterical one-liners that only the adult audiences would appreciated -- and we did! Go see this movie with or without children. My wife and I would even go see it again.
