Overpowering Expectations.

Rating: 6/10 (24 June 2016)

As far as the infamous Pixar sequels go this one was the best I have seen by far, but I'm generally not one for Pixar movies anyway. By having the release so far behind of the original "Finding Nemo" this sequel allowed for a younger generation to explore the sea and meet the cute and humorous fish today's adults grew up with. However, this means that the people who were most looking forward to "Finding Dory" were not very pleased with the outcome and anticipation, myself included. Yes, I laughed because of the humor, I wanted to cry because of the sadness, and I said the occasional "Awww" on both accounts but it definitely did not live up to the expectations I had put next to this movie. That is what this movie comes down to because it was, by no means, a terrible movie it just did not live up to the overpowering expectations that we all had. Whether these expectations were caused by your love for Nemo or the hype surrounding "Finding Dory" the outcome is the same, it can't live up to them. Would I recommend seeing this movie? Yes, in six months when it comes out on Blu-Ray and you can watch it comfortably at home and, most importantly, save money by making your own popcorn. Would I recommend seeing this movie in theaters? No, definitely not. All in all, yes I found the movie enjoyable and if you have little ones who don't know understand the expectations surrounding "Finding Nemo" then by all means get them out of the Summer heat and take them to see Dory, because they will definitely fall in love with her. But, for all you adults out there this movie will never live up to the expectations of the original "Finding Nemo".
