Ang Lee is the man.

Rating: 8/10 (8 April 2013)

This review has spoilers in it. First off I do not agree with the philosophy of the film and it is frankly insulting to monotheism however I must say that this is a very good movie in terms of entertainment. It is based on a book that pretty much stoled from another book most of the major things that make this movie so good. You should look up the book it is called "Max and the Cats." I haven't read that book but if you read the summary for it you can see that it is pretty much plagiarism.
REGARDLESS of the things I listed above this movie is great and a must watch because the story is so, so good and grabs you. The ending reveals.. the ending is just awesome. (Same ending as Max and the Cats but whatever) Ang Lee knows how to make a movie. His Hulk was awesome, his Flying Dragon was great and I am sure I saw a few other things he did but I can not think of them right now.
I can't wait to read the books. Both 'Max and the Cats' and 'the life of pi' I hate the author for his straight up plagiarism but I love the story he told.. even if it wasn't from his own imagination for the most part.
