Puss In Boots


Well.. ... It was better than I thought. That is to say that this movie was good.
I never liked the Puss in Boots character in the Shrek movies THAT much that I thought he would be given his own movie... I thought Donkie was more suited for that XD But so I thought little of this movie.. Also doing a movie to please your fans and to make money rarely do come out fine. You should do a movie because YOU want to. Not because other want you to do it.

What's the story? Well... I don't really know.. It was kind of a complicated story. That's probably why I liked it. I like those complicated stories that takes you to a twist you didn't think of. This movie takes a simple story and makes it complicated... Sort of XD
I should however point out that Shrek has NOTHING to do with this movie. When the movie began I was thinking: Ok.. Is this before or after he meets Shrek? But as the movie continued I thought: Or is this a completely own story without Shrek? This movie stands on its own! It has just borrowed the fairytales coming together. That's all.
That's what I'm gonna say about the story so, check it out to know the story XD

The characters were good. They held their character through the entire movie! I was really glad to see that! And they were really enjoyable.. Except for the two characters.... I have no idea what their names are, but the two with all the swines! Those characters were SO annoying! Mostly because what they do in the end! It's gonna be a little spoiler here so you who doesn't want to read it you can just go to the next section below. The characters did something in the end that was like... Come on! Give up already! It was just clear to me that they only served as obsticles in the end... Which made it seemed like they were just in the movie to be obsicles! It's when they're going to save their hometown by giving back the little goose to its rightful place. And these characters says: We want more than gold! We want the goose that lays the goldes eggs! .... Yeah.. I can get that but... Why did you just come up with it there? You had more oportunities to get the goose! You had BETTER oportunties!! So why did you decide that you wanted more in the middle of the climax ?! Those were the only characters that bothered me. The rest was good and enjoyable to watch.

The movie had two good things in it. The story and the characters. However... It had THREE things against it! ... Wait. LOGIC! Please! The important thing in the movie is the story and the characters. If you get both of these right then you have a good movie despite the flaws! With that said.. Lets look at the problems.

The beginning
I think the beginning irritated me because I was wondering what kind of story it was. If it was before the Shrek movies or after or if it was a story of its own. The one change I want to do here is... Puss in Boots is narrating in the beginning about his character..... Couldn't you say in the beginning "Also this is a story where I have or will not meet Shrek or the Donkie".. It's ONE line! I haven't seen the trailer for this movie.. I have only seen the posters so, maybe I was missing something from the trailer. If so... You shouldn't take for granted that everybody sees the trailer! And why I'm talking about this now is because a small detail that is left out can distract you from a whole movie! I let that question be rather early from the movie, but still! I'm an exception! Tell your audience if it's a sequal or midqual or prequal or don't have anything in common with the other movies the character was in! Also, it's a child's movie so that line wouldn't destroy the movie because it can be treated with humor! So.. NO EXCUSES!

BTW, that leads us to the other problem. The humor.
The first half of the movie... The humor in it was just a pain! Everytime they tried to tell a joke I rolled my eyes. It was so childish humor and bad humor! ... It got a little better the further the movie went (some of the jokes are hillarious!) but yeah... The majority of the jokes were just childish and unfunny and I just rolled my eyes at them. ... But they didn't have many hairboll jokes! They had one! But that was cleverly used so that was OK!

The last problem was the ending. ... Do I need to say that there's going to be Spoilers here? I do o.O? Ehum... Ok.. It's going to be spoilers here! So you who doesn't want to read about the ending can.. go.. Stupid..
Anyway! The ending! Yes.. I don't mean the climax or anything this is really about the last minute of the movie. After the climax and the sad trip of everyone who died in the battle.. The movie rushes to the end credits! .. What?! Did you overstep the time limit by 1 minute or something? And you had to rush it? ... You're not putting up your movie on YouTube! You can overstep the timelimit by a minute, I promise you. But yeah! After the battle everything is OK! The town has forgiven Puss for his mistakes in the past and he's treated like a hero! ... During the climax people said that he had to go back to the prison to pay off his dept! His "mother" even told him to not fight the guards so he could pay of his dept (to a crime he didn't even commit but anyway!). Also! He had escaped prison to battle and save the town.. HOWEVER! He DID commit a crime! He escaped prison.. But that's fine! He saved the town so he doesn't need to listen to the guards who wants to put him back.. It was only the one crime he commited. A hero doesn't go to prison...... S.T.U.P.I.D! So yeah... They did want a happy ending but in the same time they didn't.... That's what happens when you do a movie to please your fans! You stop thinking!

Although... It was a pretty good movie and I think I will see it again.. Probably. .. Maybe.

Bee Movie


AAAAAAHH!!!!

WHAT THE HELL?! This movie nearly got me to cry because it was so horrible!!! OMG!!! It got me so angry and so sad and... MEOW! To think that we actually still do movies like this!! WTF?! Haven't the movie history taught you what to make and DON'T make?! ... Apparently not!

This movie... ! ARGH!! I just want to forget about it because it really hurt me and I have no idea why it was made! They treated the whole idea like a big joke! The whole movie was like a joke gone wrong! And it was horrible to sit through! But I watched the whole movie anyway! ... I have no idea why! ... Maybe because I wanted to see how horribly it was going to end!

Well.. I think I've talked too much how horrible it is... What's the story? .. That's gonna take a long time to tell you so I'm just gonna start.
It is about a Bee... What a shock! But this bee founds out that his life is just gonna be around one job when he finish school. He's gonna do one job his whole life. The only job he can think of is a pilot. Those bees that flies around and search for flowers and takes the honey and stuff like that. So he gets tricked into flying with the pilots, but when he actually flies out, the pilots are good guys that actually takes care of him! They just acted like bullies first just to get the plot going. Oh well! On his flight he comes across a human and they starts talking and liking each other and stuff like that. But when he notices that humans are taking the honey they make he goes to the bottom of the case and founds out that humans are crual to the bees because of theur honey. So the main bee goes into a trial to save all the bees and the honey and wins the case! So all the bees gets the honey back and everything is OK! ... Except that the bees don't have anything to do anymore because aparently they have all the honey they want! So all the flowers and trees and plants are dying! So the bee must go to a... I have no idea what that was.. something that praise flowers, my brain is trying hard to make me forget about this movie! They get the last flowers in the world and has to fly back to their town to save ALL flowers in the whole WORLD......... But there's a storm in the way so all the bees in the town CARRIES THE PLANE TO THE AIRPORT, THROUGH THE STORM AND THEY ALL MAKE IT! ..... So then the bees gets on with the polination and everything is as colorful as it was before.. The end...

WTF?! What kind of story is that? Did it really have to be all that complicated and long? It's a kids movie! It doesn't have to be that complicated because they won't take it all in anyway. Oh! And you're treating the story like a big joke so why?!

Ok, what doesn't work in this movie? ... Everything?! The big joke is "put a bee in the human world". And they joke about that through the entire movie! It made me really sick! Also, the pacing in the movie was bad! TOO FAST! Your movie is one and a half hour long! You can afford to slow it down! But no! We had to make a whole big and complicated plot so we didn't have time for character development! We just give you jokes about bees!

Also, the human he become friends with... HATE HER!! The actor who did the voice for her... Put a little effort will ya?! But no! Her voice drived me nuts and she... I'm not gonna say anything more about that character because I can't find the words because I'm so angry!

So that's the problem, the plot, the characters, the comedy.... What was good about it? ... The animation can look nice.... But it isn't worth it!! NO!! There are FAR better movies that can both look good and the plot isn't all over the place! Stop making fast movies! I found ONE silent moment and it lastet a few seconds! The rest was "talk, talk, talk, talk" LOUD MUSIC! The end.... GRR!

I didn't think this movie was going to be nice, but I missed the Dreamworks animation and I've watched everything else! So what could I do? Meow! Now I'm gonna forget everything about this and I'm advising you NOT to see it!
