14 and loved it.... predictable and adorable

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2011)

This is without a doubt the most predictable movie on earth, but i don't care, this is so cute. so adorable. and the animation is beautiful. this is truly a masterpiece. yes, its predictable (I could guess what they were gonna see) but it is so much fun!!! The movie focuses on Blu, the last male blue macaw who lives in moose lake with his nerdy owner Linda. he loves his life there, is pure domesticated, but cannot fly. He is wanted in Rio Di Janeiro (i cant spell it!) to mate with Jewel, the last female blue macaw. this is just good fun, teaches great life lessons, and the scenery of Rio is absolutely amazing especially the statue of Jesus standing on the island. I love the idea of the gliders are a way to way fly, that was beautifully done. the characters are great, George Lopez as the toucan, Jesse Esseinberg as Blu, Anne Hathaway as jewel, Luiz the dog is great, and the humans are nicely done. I also like how this film focuses on some poor life in Brazil but does not overdo it to make it scary for children. it focuses on animal trafficking, a huge problem in Brazil, and a main character named Fernando is a young boy who is an orphan and has no one to go to, lives on the streets, and turns to crime for money. but he is such a likable character and gets so much sympathy. I am 14 and laughed at this movie, the whole time.... okay it was hysterical. so did my best friend who i went to see it with. so all you haters who think this doesn't deserve a 7.4, back off, because it certainly does. worth a watch for sure!
