Big Hero Sucks

Rating: 5/10 (14 November 2014)

First things first: this isn't a terrible movie. It's just bad. Just your average, everyday, fairly common, bad movie. If you don't agree with me, I'd be happy to tell you why...
The characters in this film are a stereotypical, cookie-cutter, sitcom cast (You've got your Shaggy, your Lara Croft, your white girl, and of course the manly-looking one who acts like a baby), the writing is garbage, the jokes aren't funny, the dialog is clichéd FOR DAYS, the plot devices are overused, the plot twists all seem forced, the soundtrack is forgettable, the cinematography is minimal at best, the visual design seems a little too similar to The Incredibles, the addition of the superhero team in the movie is completely unnecessary and doesn't help the film at all, not to mention all the superheroes seem like Ben 10 ripoffs, and finally, all the story arcs and major plot points seem to be directly stolen from films like "The Iron Giant," and "Brother Bear."
Big Hero 6 is a bad movie. That is a statement that can be backed up with factual evidence. It definitely isn't a horrible movie, but it certainly isn't any good. So then why does everyone worship it like it's the arc of the covenant? The answer is simple: Baymax.
Baymax is Big Hero 6's money machine. He's their Olaf. His role in the film is trick people into thinking the movie is good so they'll recommend it to their friends. And I'll admit it, he won over my heart. He won over everyone's heart. You can't deny it, Baymax is a lovable, cute, hilarious character. The thing is, one character doesn't make a film good, and with his character aside, the film sucks Baymax's big squishy toes. The movie hides behind Baymax, and when people walk out of the theater thinking about how much they enjoyed the film...they're really just thinking about how much they enjoyed Baymax. Disney can be an evil genius when it wants to, and apparently in this case their master plan worked, because everybody seems to love the film.
I leave you with this final question: if Baymax wasn't in the film, would you still like it? Most people probably would say no. Those who say yes would either be lying, stupid, mentally impaired, or under seven years old.
