Aktham Tashtush I watched the trailer , it looked like fun and a lot of Action and comedy, but when you really watch the movie it is totally different, There were more than a couple of moments of Action but it all seemed unnecessary, overdone and excessively overrated.Come to the comedy part it was just cheap and not funny at all.Final judgment, Just find something else.
Kawaii Cupcake This movie is very cliché. The movie is very predictable like the protagonist saves the day and gets the girl. The quality is OK, it's not at all great but it's not bad either. They're many stereotypes in the movie, such as the Peruvian trying to make money, the photos that the Peruvian showed saying that is his "family" was racist. He showed of one of Africans with very huge lips which is a racist stereotype. Something that bothered me was the fact that during whole movie only three females spoke. The female protagonist was sexualized. I get it that the main protagonist needs a love interest but they didn't have to sexualize her and make her beautiful compared from the other females, they could've just made the girl look a little nerdy since she likes history. It was very dull I didn't find it entertaining and everything was predictable. I don't recommend this movie at all.
amber-dragon Honestly I was avoiding this movie and for good reason. the cover shows about 6 males and 1 female... (already a bad sign...) in all I counted 3 females in the whole film that had something to say.. very distracting from the predictable story of guy goes on adventure meets girl does amazing stuff has a male super villain saves the day bla bla. It's a horrible way to portray a female. Honestly this is not a good film for children. I wish I could have enjoyed the film a little more and where it not for the amazing scenery I would have just put the film down. the girl though does have a bit of intelligence but looks like a sexualized object for male eye candy.
T F I happened to see Tad The Lost Explorer with some Spanish friends and their children in Madrid a couple of weeks ago - I'm not sure if it's out yet in the U.S.? Anyway - found it to be a very fun ride. Sort of an homage to Indiana Jones, but very sweet. Actually had much more heart than I expected. ANd some great action sequences - the kids I saw it with loved every second! I was actually looking up the film on IMDb to see who made it and when I saw the first review I was really surprised to see a negative review. I'll admit that animated movies usually aren't my thing, but I really thought the characters and story were great.
