Truly a delight!

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2013)

When I first saw the preview at the movies, all I saw were the big four, so I said, "Looks terrible, I'm not going to see it." But then I saw the 2nd one and realized there was to it than there seemed. The movie follows the view of Jack Frost, the spirit of winter who wakes with no memory and finds no one can see him. For the next three hundred years he is alone.... until Pitch comes back to destroy the Guardians and therefore is chosen by the Man in Moon to join them. From there, an instant rivalry takes place between him and bunny, so when the latter insults Jack and his current status, North takes him to his room and tells him to find his center. Not long afterward, they find that Pitch stole everything Tooth had and try to stop the former. There he finds out he had a past life he had been unaware about and begins to yearn for more information. Later when he takes home Sophie Bennet after preparing for Easter, he hears a familiar voice and decides to follow it to Pitch's Lair. He there finds his memories but is mocked by Pitch. In an attempt to attack him, Jack is led out of the lair to find that Easter had been ruined. When he finds the guardians, bunny was no longer seen by children and they would not let him explain what happened but broke their trust. Horrified, He turned and left, as belief growing short. When he arrived in Antarctica, he is confronted by Pitch to join him. When Jack refuses, he sends him into isolation in the cliffs. There Jack looks through his memories and finds why he is chosen to be a guardian, for saving his sister's life before he died. After he left, he found that there was only one believer left, a boy he knew named Jamie Bennet. Jack flies to him finds Jamie at a crossroads of belief. As it begins to fade, Jack tries to convince the Guardians were real, and ended up gaining the first person to see him. Later, the guardians band together to stop Pitch with Jamie and his friends. In the process, the children bring back Sandy who had supposedly 'died' earlier in the movie. Together they stop Pitch and Jack Frost becomes the Guardian of Fun. I liked this movie because it not only applied to kids, but adults as well. Often in the movie, people can relate to Jack's feelings of loneliness and his mischievous personality. The characters are seen in a modern way that is the first to be expressed. It has truly become a delight and enjoyable movie for everyone.
