Good Film for Children and Adults, But a Little Predictable

Rating: 7/10 (6 March 2015)

There was a lot of hype for this film and it took me awhile but I finally sat down to watch it with my six year old sister. She loved it. She laughed, she paid attention (something she has trouble doing) and that was good enough for me. However, as a 20 year old I have a problem with the film. It was good, I'll first start by saying that, however it was predictable. I could literally see every twist and turn from a mile away. For those of you who have not seen it I will not go into detail as to be sure I do not spoil it for you. The plot was about 20% originality 80% recycled from other films. Maybe Im exaggerating a tiny bit but thats about how I felt. The character development was great, it had a fantastic cast, and if I had to watch it again I think I would. But don't go into it thinking this film will be a groundbreaking piece of cinema, it simply is not. Its fun to watch but nothing too special.
