Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

cinemajesty Movie Review: "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" (2010)Presenter Warner Bros. Studios gives its long-time first-look inclusive partner Village Roadshow Pictures from "Down Under", Australia a lift in distributing this explicit animated feature directed by Zack Snyder, who after "Watchmen" (2009) overthrown himself with the story of young owl Soren, vocally performed by non-recognizable actor Jim Sturgess, who's character embarks on journey into the depth of a mystical, highly-visceral landscape of ruling nemesis-owl "Metal Beak", given voice by decisive-striking vocal beats-sharing Joel Edgerton, when dark magic boot encampments of stone, rock and gorges transforms child-owls into metal-armor-wearing soldier-owls in order to enforce an army to invade hometree of the peace-loving family tribe including the character of father-like owl Noctus, portrayed by Hugo Weaving, and the war-approved, trauma-scared Ezylyrb, performed by Geoffrey Rush; together in deep voices, they build atmosphere and story-telling moments of an promised animated fantasy-action-spectacle that falls short after the first excellent visual strokes in terms of tiresome showdown-fulfilling proportions due to emotional distant confrontation between rivaling childhood friends Soren and the brainwashed character of Kludd that then again are visual stunning in character detail down-to-each feather designs, environmental shading in sparkling fire slow-motion shots, but nevertheless share a feeling of unidentifiable leading characters for a targeting group of the 8 to 12 year old, which wanted to be animation for adults in human flesh and blood, yet without the proper animation of empathetic behaviors and an adapted screenplay by shrieking writers John Orloff and Emily Stern, especially in the most fearless full-frontal moments of conflict, fails "The Legend of the Guardians" to deliver awestruck convictions in the end; circumstances, which the fulminate success of animation action-drama "Toy Story 3" by competitor Pixar Animation Studios, out the same year, could deliver to an heart-stopping, suspension-pulling sequence at a fire-breathing, metal-claw-menacing trash-burn facility of closer relations to international audiences.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

Sjoerd Jonker What a nice ride! A young dreamer, taken from his home to a land of evil. He managed to escape along with his new companion who was also kidnapped. They found shelter by local peasants, who were willing to aid them to for full their quest to vanquish the rising thread in the west. Together they went north and arrived at the mystical isle 'Ga'Hoole' where the Guardians live. They are the only ones that can bring a permanent end to this evil recovered from the Battle of the Ice Claws. Together they returned to St. Aegolius to take down the Pure Ones once and for all. Victory! The Guardians restored the peace once more thanks to our brave owls who not only brought the message, they saved the Guardians from certain death. They stood for the King and Queen not only as heroes, but also as rightful Guardians. The End!The Legend of the Guardians is a striking story in a medieval, fantasy world populated by owls, but the movie has its flaws. Besides the light script, the whole story they told us is too brief. As a feature film the length is good, but being put in a story like this, there are many elements that I missed during the film. There was more A LOT MORE that they could tell us to give the story more spice. There weren't even romance scenes guys, already they missed one entire important ingredient! Anyway they could've told us more about the mysterious flecks in St. Aegolius. We know that they are harmful to the so called 'Gizzard', though we still do not know how the Gizzard really works on owls and why metal flecks have a negative effect on it, not to mention that it is still a mystery how the flecks wind up in prey that the owls eat. We also did not know much about The Battle of the Ice Claws. They could've showed us interesting flashbacks how the conflict between the Pure Ones and the Guardians happened(were the King and Queen there?), when Soren found out Ezylryb is Lyze of Kiel(in order to make more emotional involvement) in his hollow. BTW we still don't know why he called himself Ezylryb. Was it because his fans would be disappointed for the rest of their lives, because of the fact that their hero is a little screech owl full of battle scars, or did he changed his name because he simply did not want to be remembered as a hero, who is to say. Furthermore I feel that they missed some critical scenes. For example they fail to tell us what the current state is of the world. Is the whole world torn apart by the previous war or is the world fully recovered yet the inhabitants just did not know what is going on with their young-lings? We simply know nothing of this world and how it is ruled. Furthermore there are several other things that were too brief, The Owl God: Glaux, The Echidna(one of the most rushed characters), Grimbles family(we still don't know what became of them), The reunion with Soren's parents at the very ending of the film(the parents did not even mentioned Kludd), The King and Queen(the queen never showed up during the final battle) and being moon blinked(does this works on every animal or just owls?)Not only is the story brief it is also as straight as an arrow. By that I mean that it is too obvious what is going to happen next during almost every scene and since the scenes are in general brief it makes them only more predictable, not to mention that the story itself is unoriginal, but I'll let that one slide, because otherwise I would be a massive hypocrite for liking tons of other movies. Anyway, it would have been fine if just a handful of scenes were predictable, but in this case the complete film is predictable. For example: Soren was the dreamer in the beginning and Kludd was not convinced that the Guardians even existed. And that is fine, but there was not one moment that caused the slightest turbulence in their visions. The result of this is that we feel little emotional attached when Kludd had fallen in the fire, because he was a bad brother the whole time. It was also obvious that it was going to happen one way or another. They could've lessen both by hiding his personality more in the beginning. As for Soren he is obviously the 'good guy' in this, no two ways about it. But there are certain aspects they missed to build him up as a character. For example after he escaped from St. Aegolius he didn't even bother about his own brother or his parents! He didn't feel like going back was an option and he didn't asked the necessary questions that make us sympathize with him. For example: 'But what about my brother, he is still in St. Aegolius?'(When they found shelter at Twilight's and Digger's place) or: 'You're right Mrs. P, I can't go without letting my parents know what has happened, can I?'In conclusion: The film is not perfect, that is clear, but I see the ambition behind it even though they played it safe by telling the story at minimal length with its light yet decent script in order to satisfy all audiences. The visuals are superb with an outstanding lighting from the time of day. Metal Beak is great! He is more like an idea than he is a person and he was everything that Soren isn't and that makes him a good villain. The music is intriguing and the art style is just marvelously done! And I must also give the trailers credit, since they were the reason for finding my favorite band: Thirty Seconds to Mars.

Thomas Richardson This movie is awesome Director of Watchmen and 300 this is a movie you should see if you like harry potter lord of the rings or 300 then you defiantly need to see this movie you will not regret me I am 14 and I'm a boy When I first saw this movie in ten minutes I was saying to myself this movie is going to suck because its animated but another 10 minutes I was like saying to myself this isn't bad and then another ten minutes I was saying to myself this is good and then finally after another ten minutes I loved it and just because this movie is animated doesn't mean that adults or teenagers can't watch this movie anymore they still can watch because the real genre for this movie is a Adventure and a fantasy movie not Kids/Family

samanoske6 i liked it very much. The music and animation awesome. every one should watch this . The animation works one of a kind. A real war movie . should get between 7.5 and 8.8. i think it should get 8. i like Ezylryb—the mentor at the Great Tree and legendary warrior, Lyze of Kiel. and Metal Beak—leader of the Pure Ones and Nyra's husband. He wears a helmet over his head, to hide his missing beak, which was ripped off by Lyze of Keil (Ezylryb).it cool. the armour. The scene of a guardian rescuing digger in the sea and soren flying in the twister is classy.it would have been much more classy if the music track ost was done by hans zimmer. gladiator music.
