Brave has been recieving a lot of unwantonly harsh critisism from people. It has been called "unimaginative" that it had "more to offer" conceptually, and was "dissapointing."
Don't believe everything you read people. When people say that something, "lacks story," in a book, it means too much time is spent on scenery description and not enough on character development, if it's a film however, usually it's just a veiled accusation that so-and-so finds the story to be "cliche" or (and this is my biggest pet peeve) "formulaic."
Super-8 was "formulaic" for many. Newsflash, formulas are around because they work. Abslutely Brave was not the finest of Pixar movies. It was an A-, all things considered. But in today's industry where most of the films they crunch out are D's and C's, an A- animated film is pretty impressive.
While many were looking for "story" in some plot twist, they were missing the true narrative that the film was telling, for the story was within the familial relationships. One trailer for Brave said it perfectly, "No Matter What Age You LIve In...Family is King." Merida's relationship with her mother, Eleanor's own relationship with her husband, these are the crux of the film.
You also have a badass Scottish princess who fights bears, what more do you want from our Pixar friends?!
I know I'm taking the unpopular opinion among the geeks of the world, but I loved Brave absolutly, and I think it deserves to proudly take its place among the ranks of fantastic Pixar films.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, fantastic characters, relevant themes
Yes, I recommend this movie.
