Animated Avengers: Another Superhero Story

Rating: 4/10 (19 May 2015)

Big Hero 6 in a nutshell is basically an Avengers-style story where A) a team of heroes get together to, B) fight an evil villain, and instead of live action it's done in, C) computer generated imagery. There's a dash of, D) emotional conflicts, and, E) humorous characters, which leads to, F) much of a muchness. Superhero stories are becoming all the same, and trying to hide the clichés and tropes inside CGI doesn't change the fact that most of it has been seen and done before. Big Hero 6 felt at times that it was trying to be a live action film, and might have benefited from it.
What did impress me though was the villain whom had a very impressive method of villainy.
If you want much of the same as you've already seen but need it to look really pretty, really colourful, and want your kids to learn all about how much fun illegal gambling is, how violence and healing can work hand-in-hand, and how forgiveness comes once you've unleashed that violence, then by all means, watch it.
