Not all that special.

Rating: 7/10 (8 February 2007)

Disney + Pixar + Brad Bird should be a spectacular formula. While this was a good movie, it wasn't the GREAT movie I had hoped it would be. The positives are the voice cast which was great, although I'm not a particular fan of Samuel L. Jackson. Craig T. Nelson and Holly Hunter were awesome. I did enjoy the fact that the evil minions did have some semblance of competence as opposed to being bumbling doofuses.
I'm finding that except for Spider-Man 2, I really don't care for the overall climatic sinister plot cooked up by the main bad guy, this movie especially. The set ups from the first hour didn't really pan out during the last 30 min.
