Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Lizzy m I though the plot line was interesting and different, a snail wanting to compete in the Indy 500? I love how ridiculous the story is, I mean it's such an impossible dream, that somehow comes to life. The characters are lovable, both the snail and human characters, the jokes were clever, and the animation was fantastic. I liked it, as do my siblings, it was hopeful and lighthearted, and their theme was great as well.
Julius Light Another animated film with the theme of resisting tradition and the norm, finding out who you really are, and pursuing your dream. Interesting to see the garden snail's view on life, and the opposition from the snails is completely understandable -- snails are born, they are inherently made, very slow. Many times we are bound to harsh reality, and thus cannot go beyond. The Mexican guy's pretty cool, the music (kudos to Henry Jackman) is invigorating, and the electric blue trail left by Turbo is just sweet.I love how Disney, DreamWorks, and the like depict the worlds of those we cannot understand -- Wreck-It Ralph brought us the world behind arcade games, The Lego Movie showed us the world of LEGO, Toy Story that of toys, etc. Turbo shows you the world of garden snails.
Ersbel Oraph With Cars you get the Cars universe. It is ridiculous, but at least there is something creative. Although things stop here. After that the situation is getting worse with the master race, I mean race cars, and the slaves who are happy to assist the master race cars.With Turbo you get some dancing snails. They can talk. But not with people. They can spell. And hug with their lidded eyes. Also you get cute body modifications and magic. The ethics of this movie are next to zero. You can steal from your best friend of brother. That is fine as long as you win on gambling so you can pay the interest too.Bottom line, the acting is mediocre. The rest is bad. An expensive clone which leaves you with a sense of cheap. Just like Planes. Only with more holes.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
g-bodyl Turbo is not a bad film at all and if anything, it is actually a bit underrated. I enjoyed Turbo better than I anticipated, even if the story is a little derivative of such films like Cars or even the Fast and the Furious. I do like the concept of a slow being such as a snail trying to race in the Indy 500. However, Turbo is better than Cars 2 at least. The animation is beautiful and the voice acting is superb thanks to a strong cast. The film is also even funny at times and has some good inside references to previous films like Cars.This film is about a common garden snail nicknamed Turbo who dreams in competing in the Indy 500 against his idol despite being a very slow snail. But due to a freak accident, Turbo now has the power to be fast. Along with his new human friends and his snail brother, Turbo dreams are about to come true.As mentioned above, this film has a strong voice cast and they elevate the film. There are such actors like Ryan Reynolds, the ever great Paul Giamatti, and the ever recognizable Samuel L. Jackson as Turbo's main snail friend/rival. The voices are colorful and they all breathe in life to their characters.Overall, this isn't the best animation film of up to the point of this film's release as such films like Monsters University, The Croods, and Despicable Me 2 are better. But this is a good diversion for the kids and perhaps even the adults themselves. The film is a little kid-friendly, but the messages are pushed across in an easy manner. A nice concept with some derivative elements, this is still a simple pleasure of the summer. I rate this film 8/10.
