I couldn't give it a 1 out of 10, as the visuals are really OK. However, that would be about it. All the other elements were introduced just to ruin that movie. At one point I imagined it being a silent film with a couple of stoned jerks putting words in the characters' mouths as they went along and then it helped. Just assume everything apart from what you see is a bad joke and you will be fine. I mean, my nearly 3 year old didn't seem to mind too much, but I will not be showing it to my 5 year old, as I don't want to expose her developing brain to such rubbish. The dialogues are redundant, stupid, not funny and just badly written - and even more badly read. I didn't get the rules as to which creatures can speak in this film and why others can't. Having seen the original series really doesn't help - you just keep on wishing you were watching that instead. I think the creators should really be ashamed of themselves and I hope they learned something. How anyone in their right frame of mind can give it a 10 rating is absolutely beyond me.

I was very excited to see Walking with Dinosaurs, especially after seeing the trailer. I was extremely disappointed to discover that instead of watching the amazing animation, you spend the majority of the time trying to ignore the absolutely horrible voice-over. I understand the desire to make the movie more marketable to children, however, I believe that if the movie had been released as it was originally intended, without the ridiculous script, not only children but also teens and adults would have enjoyed the film. Kids are not dumb and very few actually need a narrated storyline to understand what is going on.

WOW... After reading the other reviews I realized how many adults are taking this movie too serious. This is a great (children's movie)not adult movie, about Dinosaurs. It's OK if you haven't heard of the Dino's because it's not about your intelligence or education of different species. It's about having fun with your children while watching a made up story. Honestly, this movie is good. My daughter loves it and that's all that matters. I have a feeling the one star reviews are coming from sad, pathetic, useless people trying to watch a movie about the T-Rex. Unbelievable. Soooooo, the movie is the typical movie about a weaker dinosaur that has to compete with his brother who is way bigger. He loves a girl Dino and is trying to win her heart through the movie. A little bit of a Finding Nemo beginning with a struggle for survival. To the one star critical voters... I'm definitely LaughinAtYou!!!

Very nice animation but this is for very small children. The dialogue is inane. There's upbeat fluffy songs. There are even poop jokes. It's pretty juvenile stuff. The voice actors are annoying, particularly John Leguizamo. That doesn't surprise me as he is one of the worst people pretty much ever. I agree with another reviewer who said they should have made it without the animals talking or think-talking. It would have worked much better and might have appealed to a broader audience than those still wearing diapers. I'm surprised they put so much effort into the animation just to make something so slight. If you have little kids or if you have suffered a concussion recently, this is an innocuous little picture you might enjoy. The rest of you, try to watch it with the sound off.
