A disappointing, hollow movie with a non-existent plot.

Rating: 6/10 (24 July 2012)

Last night I went to watch the movie "Ted", which is Seth McFarlane's first attempt at a feature film. And in this case "attempt" is actually a more accurate term than "film". The humor is decent at times, and I remember laughing out loud at a few scenes, but the movie feels so empty and hollow. It feels like it's not an actual movie, and more like a long episode of Family Guy, especially considering that the only funny jokes in this movie are the flashbacks the characters have (a Family Guy trademark).
The plot is very slow moving (if there is one in the first place) and the movie never picks up any pace, it never excites you or surprises you. The ending is one of the cheesiest endings in film history. Sure, the character work is alright and none of the actors are bad at what they do but the film is overall a huge letdown which leaves nothing behind, I had brought up my hopes for this one. If you just want to watch something mindless on a Saturday night, Ted is a nice option but if you want to watch an actual movie, go see Batman instead.
