Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Brandi H Great CGI on a living background, but the plot is not interesting at all. 1. It's like a goofy documentary. 2. Lots of evolutionary indoctrination. 3. The characters aren't really likable or relatable. Also, their social interactions don't make sense. They keep trying to convince us that these are wild animals AND socially awkward teenagers, and it just doesn't add up. 4. There is no mouth movement and every dinosaur looks the same, so it was hard to connect speech to the characters. I couldn't tell who was talking. 5. They make out the main character to he a unique underdog, but he just turns out to be kind of weird. 6. They make vague attempts to seem inspirational and uplifting, but that didn't work out. I was done watching within the first 20 minutes, but had to sit through it all the way to the end because my husband wanted to see it through. It's just not a good movie...

Michael Dorsey First of all, lets just get the record straight: It's a movie that is narrated by a small prehistoric bird. This bird is a wisecracking character who thinks the tiny arms of the Gorgosaurus (T-Rex relative) are funny and states this after one of these creatures brings down a pterosaur and kills it. His reply to the dead pterosaur is, "My bad." Ha ha. Hilarious. Each character says "butt" at least once in the movie, no matter how little the character is on screen. Within the first two minutes of the main character Patchi getting out of a nest, the word butt is said in a very unnecessary situation. Later in the same scene, the ankylosaur Patchi is underneath poops on him. We are very amused. And puking is incorporated into the movie through a regurgitation of leaves by Patchi's mother. Mmmm tasty. Overall a gross, stupid, poorly written mess. After seeing this movie, I don't feel so bad about dinosaurs being extinct.

Incendid Jacob's Review: I am an enormous dinosaur fan and I share this fanatic behaviour with a close friend. When we heard news of a Walking with Dinosaurs movie, the child in me got excited. I was utterly obsessed with the television documentary and a film adaptation seemed like a good idea at the time. However, I didn't hear an abundance of positive descriptions about this movie. So when I entered the theatre I braced myself... We could not have made a greater mistake than paying $20 each to go see this movie. The animation was spectacular but that was the only truly great attribute. For years many directors have been attempting to tell a prehistoric story simply through visuals or narration and this film's trailers depicted it in that light. It turns out that as an after thought, voice overs were added and a prologue with some dweeb teen who hates dinosaurs. He is then confronted by a bird voiced by John Leguizamo who can communicate telepathically. The bird begins to tell a story about a herd of ancient behemoths and the journey of three lost Pachyrhinosaurs. The voice overs are atrocious and all they ever talk about is fart, vomit and poop. It is really distracting when something is supposed to be taken seriously but is juxtaposed with this immature attempt to be humorous. It was as if the producers thought that children's attention spans wont last long if there isn't lines like "get your butt out of my face". As a stroke of genius they put this in because that's all kids care about isn't it? Screw this film. This movie is annoying and weak. Don't feed this to children. 3/10

utgard14 Very nice animation but this is for very small children. The dialogue is inane. There's upbeat fluffy songs. There are even poop jokes. It's pretty juvenile stuff. The voice actors are annoying, particularly John Leguizamo. That doesn't surprise me as he is one of the worst people pretty much ever. I agree with another reviewer who said they should have made it without the animals talking or think-talking. It would have worked much better and might have appealed to a broader audience than those still wearing diapers. I'm surprised they put so much effort into the animation just to make something so slight. If you have little kids or if you have suffered a concussion recently, this is an innocuous little picture you might enjoy. The rest of you, try to watch it with the sound off.
