Jaded

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2013)

It amazes me how the generations get so Jaded. The BIG debates over this film are whether it's too much of a kid's movie and if the the CG is overwrought. The movie is full of be-headings and the breakout star is a bipolar cave dwelling cannibal. J.R.R. Tolkien created a truly Grimm fairy tale and Peter Jackson has honored it. I watched the feature length animated movie as a kid and this is without question a Masterpiece of evolution. In the theatre I laughed out loud and loved every minute of it. Now on my 5th viewing I am amazed at the sophisticated writing, telling a tale so timely with real lessons in morality, faith and honor. Occasionally we get a perfect blend of all things that make great filmmaking and this one joins that coveted list.
