A great movie... with great jokes...

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2012)

Earlier today, I saw this movie at my local movie theatre and all throughout, I was entertained.
I like the film's idea of what video game characters do when the arcade closes down, which reminds one of the concept of Toy Story. Needless to say, Disney and Pixar (in spite of the former's flaws) have managed to answer some questions like this very well. Unlike Over the Hedge, this film has actual reasons to sympathize with the main character by giving the audience legitimately good reasons to understand him.
I normally do not see modern computer-animated movies at a theatre, mainly because I feel that a lot of "modern" children's movies (with some exceptions) often have loads of innuendo and toilet humour, but this one I had anticipated ever since I saw the trailer. I am a huge fan of Disney and Pixar movies, but a lot of DreamWorks films (except Shrek 1, 2, Bee Movie, Monsters vs. Aliens, Prince of Egypt and The Road to El Dorado - the latter in 2D animation) I find intolerable The movie has its share of funny moments and the little kids sitting behind my almost 21-year-old brother, my 14-year-old sister and I didn't seem too disappointed. Luckily, it was more witty dialogue and visual jokes than toilet humour (which is strictly verbal and is limited to a couple scenes) Unfortunately, I cannot go into detail because then I might spoil the movie for whoever is reading this. I warn you that a lot of it won't really make sense unless you play a lot of video games (or just know the popular ones very well).
