Too Sentimental and Repetitive

Rating: 6/10 (6 December 2014)

(possible spoilers) I had heard good things about "Big Hero 6" from a friend who reported to like the movie a lot, so I had fairly high expectations for it going in - maybe too high. The movie opens up strongly, but got a little too sentimental and melodramatic about a quarter through on. It does have some cute humor reminiscent of live action robot movies like "Short Circuit" that was worth some chuckles, and a couple harder laughs. The "action" though gets repetitive and the story seemed a little stale around half-way, certainly "losing steam" in the 2nd half. The villain shrouded in mystery could've been done better and differently I think also. Still the movie is probably worthy of a watch. 6.5/10 - Mildly recommended.
