24 of 473 comments gave this a 1-2 out of 10. But 344 of those same 473 comments gave this a 8-10 out of 10. Can you see where this is going? ;)
This truly a wonderful film, the predominant wonder lies in the animation it self. The characters all have incredible expressive, 'expressionfull' faces never seen before in animation.
The action scenes are really dizzy making, wonderfully detailed affairs and can rival with those of the best action movies out there like The Bourne Ultimatum, Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer and such.
I liked the little details, like that Colette is named after Audrey Tatou, that Remi is named after the main character from Sans Famille (Nobody's Boy) by Hector Malot. And yes, the Paris in this film is an unrealistic Paris that never existed, or perhaps only in the over romanticized imagination of Americans. But: One, I think a sweet, idealistic "Paree" is allowed since 'Amelie' by Jeunot and Carot. Maybe that's the reason why Collete is named after Audrey Tatou? And two, it's no more unrealistic than the New York of Breakfast at Tiffany's. And three ... IT 'S A MOVIE!
Also, wow what an eye for detail! All the rats' hairs, specks of dust etc. EVERYTHING is drawn into this film. Kudos. Great job. You have to watch this one a number of times to get all the different facial expressions of all the characters, especially Skinner and Ego.
Best moment, when Ego gets a flashback to his youth. This is so recognizable. I thought he was gonna cry!
Can't wait, for their next movie, in the mean time, there's Oscar nominated 'Madame Tutli-Putli' .... ;)
