Surprisingly good!

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 2009)

When I saw the previews for Bolt I wasn't expecting much. Your typical kid's film, really. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Bolt and recommend this film to others.
The voice acting was very well done. Mark Walton, the voice of Rhino, really stole the show here. I was a bit disappointed that they used Miley Cyrus for Penny because it seemed like a cheap advertising gimmick but she did a half-decent job.
The animation was superb. The action scene and the very beginning of the film is very well done and the rest of the film is a treat for the eyes as well.
I loved the characters, and although the plot was predictable and not very original the lovable and funny characters made up for it. I rarely laugh at movies but Rhino the hamster made me chuckle many times.
Overall I recommend Bolt to anyone expecting a fun movie. It's not up to par with many previous animated movies but regardless it's still very entertaining, even if you don't like kid's movies.
