Mihai Toma Being kidnapped since he was a tiny blue macaw, an endangered bird species, he ends up in the hands of a caring, lonely girl, who raises him as her best friend. One day, a person specialized in birds comes to her door, asking her to come to Rio in order for Blue to meet a lady bird of his kind and hopefully repopulate. Thus, a big adventure starts, one in which three misfit bandits try to get their hands on the birds for a big amount of money.It's a wonderful animation which presents the life of Blue, how he's raised by his human friend and how he meets Jewel, a beautiful female macaw, with a mentality on the opposite end of his. Their adventures are well described, with much emotion, managing to maintain interest throughout its entire length. I have to say that the start is a bit slow and somehow rushed, but from there on, laughter and good will are due to form a great atmosphere from which you don't to exit. I must also mention that this move is really hilarious, being able to make you laugh pretty often, making the overall experience a real treat. The story isn't fabulous, but it does its job well, making enough room for its characters to display whatever they desire, and they do it with style and plenty of fun. As you would expect, the animation is top notch, a true delight for your eyes, especially when it presents complex, far away scenery, made almost specifically to impress.Overall, I found a very good animation, which has a good story, great characters, looks amazing and makes you laugh quite out loud from time to time. A must see for any animation fan.

beny-70527 Soundtrack- a record in animation, or any other movie. Will.i.am and Jamie foxx are a great combination. Jewel (Anne) great voice, great acting. Rio is one of the most perfect places for animation, there are so many colors already! I love Romeo and Juliet movies, especially animal ones. Personally, i could have listen to Hot Wings all the day, especially the part of Jewel singing.Well, now i don't really want a Cockatoo... but i do want a Macaw! I started looking in the internet, finding out that they are actually kinda cute, and are probably smarter than a cat. Great movie, i literally have nothing against it.

richieandsam RIOThis is a film that I saw the trailer of when it first came out and thought it looked average. Now after watching it I can say in my opinion it is better than I thought it would be.The movie is about a blue Macaw named Blu. He is a domesticated bird that lives with his owner in a book shop. When a man walks into her shop and asks to take the bird to Rio so he can mate with a female Macaw, they reluctantly agree. Whilst in Rio, the 2 birds get stolen and now it is a hunt for the 2 missing birds and an adventure for them as they find their way back to their owner.The story was really good and the animation was very good too. I liked the characters. I thought they were very funny and the relationship they all had together was really well done.The action was good and was steady throughout the movie. There was not really a lot of time in the film where not a lot happened. It was entertaining throughout.The voice work was really good. They were so funny in places. Jesse Eisenberg was the voice of Blu. Very well done and very funny. Anne Hathaway was Lewel, the female Macaw. She was also very good, but nothing special. I didn't even realise it was her until the end. They could have got anyone do this voice. Other voice artists were Wanda Sykes, Jane Lynch, Jamie Foxx & Will.I.Am. Again though, I had no idea that these guys did the voices.I thought this was very good and had its own feel to it. You could tell this was not a Disney film, but that does not take anything away from it. It is a great film.I will give this film 7 out of 10."Not cool man, not cool!"For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl

Tristan Detwiler Giving it a second chance, I really wanted to love this movie.From now on, I'm going to try a different format of reviewing. I'll see how it goes.Plot:It's a forced romance story. Haven't seen this a million times, right? Oh, and a cliché villain with no character is thrown in to give the movie drama.Characters:The main characters are really likable, especially Linda. Blu and Jewel's relationship shows a standard forced love story, but I suppose it works for the plot. Other than that, the rest of the characters are terrible. The villains are completely obvious and stereotypical. They have no unique personality... or anything. It's actually hard for me to describe how they acted. I even forgot their names.Visuals:The visuals are what make the movie. The beautiful scenery of Rio de Janeiro is what gives the movie it's core appeal. That's what my family was talking about when we left the theater. Just like how Disney's The Lion King was a break-through in hand-drawn animation, this film is how all animated CGI films should look. Simple as that.Enjoyment:It was really hard getting around the cringe-inducing dialogue and terrible secondary-characters, but if you can get past it, it is rather enjoyable. The side-characters are pretty much what really killed it for me. If they were different or not in the movie at all, this film would get another star rate from me.Rewatchability:This is one of those animated movies you see on Netflix and just skip past it to see what else is available. It's only good to see if you want to say you saw it. Just go to the real Rio de Janeiro to see the movie in 3-D.
