this is cussing good

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2011)

So I watched Wes Anderson's adaptation of the book The Fantastic Mr. Fox, so is it good I say unenthusiastically yes. It wasn't great but it was good. Once again I have not read this book, but as a child read other Roald Dahl books and loved them. So why without enthusiasm, well I guess the story doesn't seem to go anywhere I guess. The end was the end, and that is about that. I liked how every "cussing" cus word was said as "cus", something cute for adults that still made the film a "kids movie." I also liked the ravenous eating habits as well as the animation technique. I have enjoyed all of Wes Anderson's films including "The Life Aquatic" (though marginally in that particular case), and I saw elements of his unique visual style translated into animation. The acting is good with an award winning cast, and the movie is very watchable for children. I am a big kid so I liked it, but I did not love it and do not think this film is for everyone out there, and think even amongst the intellectual sect there is probably much disagreement as to the worth of this film. However, it is worth watching and is in the end enjoyable to do so. if you like concise reviews of interesting films please read my other reviews at http://raouldukeatthemovies.blogspot.com/
