Fantastic movie. Until

Rating: 4/10 (3 October 2016)

Fantastic movie. Until around the time Wes Anderson starts adding up his "fantastic" ideas to the original story from the book (which is around the time when the animals start digging in the middle of the picture). There are also some major changes even from the get go, but that first half is really something both enjoyable and clever. But then this out of ordinary and interesting stop motion picture goes down the drain, turning into yet another boring and somewhat stupid animation; with a climax (of this stupidity) in a form of jumping a fence on a motorcycle, by using a ramp that was placed there apparently for no logical reason. Yeah, let us just turn this movie into shallow action comedy
After witnessing that jump scene, no sane film enthusiast should dare to speak of this cinematic endeavor in terms of having a proper script. But than again: what else can you expect from Wes Anderson, that "artistic" writer-slash-director?
