Best Film Of The Year

Rating: Null/10 (6 November 2004)

This movie was wonderful. It was one of those movies that works on several levels effortlessly. I took my wife and kids (age 5 and 8) to this film and we all enjoyed it immensely. The audience applauded at the end. What was especially astonishing about this film was that, although it was an animated film about superheroes, it was more "real" than any movie I've seen in the last decade. The characters were well-developed and the dialogue was really genuine. It is seldom you can see an animated film where you can say the acting , character development and plotting were excellent!! This was better than "The Lion King", better than "Beauty and The BEast", better than "Finding Nemo", better than "Spiderman I and II", better than any other movie of 2004. It should definitely win an Oscar for best animated movie, and should be nominated for Best Picture also. Oh, and the special effects were masterful also.
