Truly AMAZING!! End of an era and done in style!!

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2010)

The wait is over, and after 10 years of wait Toy Story 3 has finally come out. This movie was somewhat special to me as even at the age of 20, I have grown up with Woody, Buzz and the gang and was just as, if not even more excited for this installment.
Being an avid movie lover, I have seen plenty of films over the past 20 years. Having an older brother helped with all the classics we have seen to this day, but Toy Story was one that was brought out for my generation. Out of the hundreds, maybe even thousand of movies I have seen, the Toy Story series would be right up there in my top 5 and didn't want this one to let the series down. This was NO way a let down as I never thought it would but is the best of the 3.
From start to finish, this movie will keep you entertained and instantly a must watch again as the way I rate a 'good' movie is one you can watch over and over without getting bored.
As I watched one of the later showings at the cinema, my thought was that 'it will be OK, I'm sure many people will not be excited,' and boy I was wrong. The screen was packed full of adults and the queue was the longest I have seen at the cinema for a long time.
One big thing I have to say is that this is NOT just a kids movie. From watching previous Toy Stories you think that you are a little bit too old for the gags, but this was not true as this screen, packed out by people mainly 18+ was as loud as any. In this film there were plenty of 'laugh out loud' moments, bringing in plenty of old gags into new and slipping them in tremendously, bringing you back to when we were younger when we were pointing and laughing whilst watching the first two in the cinemas.
This movie does not get stale in any part and keeps you at the edge of your seat with like the first two 'a great escape' feel to it which will keep you at the edge of your seat regardless of your age. Like any other, Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and the crew, even though only voicing it, still know how to make the movie as good as it is and paired with there characters you can just feel the relationship between the two doing a great job behind the scenes.
Not only will this movie leave you excited or screaming with laughter but you have to remember that this is an ending to the Toy Story series and never have I left a movie so close to tears and I am not scared to admit it.
Like any pixar the story just sticks together and no matter how weird or wacky the story is, it works like a charm. How do you get a bunch of toys that come alive whenever they want, being mistakenly taken away or lost, to fight there way back home to there owner..............3 times and make each one an instant classic. The people at pixar are plain and simple geniuses who add something that no other movies do. There is not one bad pixar film out there and it shows who's the leader of the pack as Toy Story was the first sequel pixar had done, they had to do another one.
To the sad part, not many films have excitement, laughter and tears all in one movie, but Toy Story plays with your emotions more than any. The most heart breaking thing is that this is an end of an era, even though John Lasseter and Lee Unkrich have announced they would like to keep the characters alive (whether its a fourth or just putting them in for cameos) the importance of these characters are shown in the director, producer and writers reactions and how they do not want to forget any of the bright and funfilled toys. This was a great way to end this film series and wow they have executed it brilliantly. I truly believe this is a tear jerker so I think you should bring some tissues, as Toy Story is going out with a complete BANG!! This movie brings childhood to back to you and makes you remember when you were younger and how you use to be. This is a MUST SEE by single person out there as you will NOT be disappointed. I have not left a cinema with a massive smile on my face in a long time and this was the film to do it.
This is truly and end of an era and am sad to see Toy story come to an end, but what a way to go out.
