The Age of Commercialism
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
I watched the first 25 minutes of Early Man, and laughed a couple of times. It's pretty much a kid's movie with the same basic premise as the Indian movie Laagan; if you want to see a movie about scrappy underdogs playing soccer, it's way better than Early Man.Director Nick Park, whose Wallace and Grommet films are wonderfully funny, has somehow never been able to translate that success to anything non W&G related. Chicken Run wasn't especially funny either, but at least it had a pretty interesting story. Early Man lacks both the humor and the story that would keep me watching.Humor's a very individual thing, and I cannot deny that a lot of people in these IMDB movies find this movie very funny. But I just find that puzzling.
I imagine kids would enjoy this film a lot but only if they are into football. I agree with other reviews, although it is funny it still only average
5/23/18. I love stop-motion animated movies. When you watch these types of movies you really have to develop an appreciation for how much work goes into making these kinds of movies - hours and hours of posing and filming miniature creations till you get that fuildy movement that makes it to the big screen. Enjoy this for the creativity. The plot was simple, so be a kid for 89 minutes.
I love almost everything that comes out of Aardman. The technical challenge and talent shown in this movie is top notch. This movie was very fun to watch and the kids got a kick out of a lot of the humor. The overal plot curve was a little weak, not much in terms of surprises or twists. Overall, it was an enjoyable movie for the whole family.
