Guardians didn't rise or fall, just stay flat in a cool way

Rating: 6/10 (24 November 2012)

Over a year ago Dreamworks make the announcement for this movie. When I saw the cast and the character that they were playing I got very excited about this. Imagine my disappointment when this movie didn't full my expectations.
The animation is great. All characters look really cool, especially Bunnybund, Sandman and Jack Frost hear. But I can't understand why ever since 3D gets into the theaters all 3D movies are darker than usual. If you are going to make a movie that take action during night time, why are you making it in 3D when 3D gets better with bright not dark. I will never understand why the hell filmmakers do something like that, buy they do.
What really happens with this movie is that even when all characters are cool including Pitch played by Jude Law, the story isn't deep enough. Almost every Pixar movies are powerful dramas on the roots, brought to us in a way that kids will like. Like "Toy Story", "Wall-e" and "Up". Even "How to Train Your Dragon", that is also from Dreamworks, work based on a intensive drama (a father that don't accept his own son as he is). But Jack Frost on this move don't have a strong issue. He can't understand WHY he is on this planet or why do people can't see him. But all the answers to that question is something like MEH, we already know it. Even worse, the reason why he is on Earth as a "ghost" is something he already does. A protagonist needs to change during the movie. All that Jack do is realize that he was doing it right. It's just dump.
Other thing that I hated is the score. I can't understand why Alexandre Desplat has been nominated to 4 Oscar. He might be a good musician, but he doesn't deliver emotion to the scenes. Action scenes need cool fast music that make the audience feel inspired. A sad emotional scene needs a melody that takes the tears out of your eyes just by listening to it. More important, every movie (especially the kids ones), need a theme song. Everybody know the theme song of Toy Story, the 60's melody of Monsters Inc. or the beautiful/Oscar nominated score created for How to Train Your Dragon. What is the theme song of Rise of the Guardians? It doesn't have one, because Desplat fails every time on doing this.
If you watch this movie you won't get bored. Kids will love it. I bet is better than Twilight now playing on theaters. But go without expecting something deep and powerful that will make you believe in fairy tales again, because you will go out disappointed.
