I did not like it at all

Rating: 5/10 (10 April 2011)

I am from Rio and the film shows exactly the beauty of the city, but, unfortunately, shows crimes in slums, children working with the criminals, etc. Although it is true, it is not good that a Brazilian story teller shows the problems of the city in a worldwide film like this. All cities have problems.
The film also shows that people here forget everything when carnival comes, or when there is a soccer game on TV.. In the film, a dentist is show in tiny clothes walking in the road, going to carnival, as if even the high class people forget everything during carnival time. That is not true. Most people in Rio do not like carnival and even soccer.
Besides, the film include a beautiful carnival act in avenue, but a little "without sense". Why the criminal had to be in the carnival act before getting away with the birds in a plane? The story is weak, not inventive, far from Pixar films. There are scenes similar to Ice Age, like the two birds that get in love falling in the air, as used in the Ice Age film.
