Not All People make It Out To Be

Rating: 6/10 (22 November 2010)

Probably my least favorite Pixar film. When I go to see a kid's movie, especially a Pixar one at that, I come in foremost expecting a fair amount of comedy, but with excellent character development and whole hearted emotion. No to mention a good score is a must. This film just tried too hard to be an actual action flick. It seemed to forget that it is, after all, a family movie. Not for the fact that it was too gruesome or something, come on, its Disney but where were the laughs? For the longest time in this drawn out film I was bored with it all. If I want to see a superhero I will actually go see one, not this! Also, I was rather surprised sometimes at the not-so-subtle sensuality at times.
The plot, something Pixar usually stands out for amongst the wannabes, falls incredibly short. Syndrome killed off hundreds of heroes, to perfect his little doomsday droid so he could build himself a utopia of superheroes like himself. Eh, decent at best, but the main problem was the cast, aside Mr. incredible. Everyone else aside him, and I guess Syndrome, were left completely undeveloped. Unlike in "Toy Story", "Bug's Life" and "Finding Nemo", where you left the theater with a sense of awe, wonder and feel-goodness, I just left this one with "blah".
In the words of "Finding Nemo": "What a pity."
