What a let down

Rating: 5/10 (4 April 2009)

I walked into the cinema thinking that this film would be a decent movie- It wasn't a bad assumption, considering the great movies dreamworks have made previously like Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, even small soldiers. However after seeing the movie, i came out extremely disappointed. The film is basically something that you'll only sit and watch because you payed for it; and if you got a 2D ticket then all the worse- as the 3D addition basically makes this movie.
The jokes throughout the movie are pretty dumb and unfunny (i think i laughed at one maybe), with a lot of things that you've seen before in just too many movies. Bob the blue blob isn't that funny, the jokes you see in the trailer are pretty much all you get, and some of the things that happen in the movie are so utterly random that you think "Why the hell did they even do that?" It's pretty desperate- Just another tragic case of the film being more funny when it doesn't want to.
However i'm not going to completely wreck this movie. It did have its fair share of entertaining bits throughout; a lot of the kids seemed to find it funny... but they are easy to please. Normally a lot of kids film relate to kids and adults, with some humour that you can't believe got into a U-PG. However this movie is pretty much all empty, immature humour throughout.
Pity...
