Brave Review

                                       Brave is..let me say right of the bat...a very disappointing film. The whole thing feels as if Pixar is being forced to churn out a couple movies a year. Such a legendary animation company but between Cars 2 and Brave...Pixar has gone downhill.

                                        I will say that the introduction is strong...it gives you a good look inside this kingdom and the goings-on of the kingdom. However..then the plot starts. Now I do respect that they did not give away the actual plot in the trailer but that does not make up for how boring it is. It is not witty, not smart, not funny, and certainly not emotional. I will say that the film is beautiful looking but even that is brought down by the 3D.

                                     Now..there is some good in Brave. First off...the voice acting is Immaculate. Kelly Macdonald, Billy Connolly and Emma Thompson all do an excellent job at creating their characters. However..I didn't care for the characters in and of themselves. They were not written well enough to be anything but vacuums.

                                     The whole film is just so boring. The two things I mentioned about are the only two things I can really compliment it on. Brave really has very minimal going for it. The film's attempts to be funny such as Merida's brothers who..as she says "can get away with murder," is just childish. I am sure kids will like this film but they should spare their parents by not dragging them to it.
(2 out of 5 Stars, The film is rated PG for some scary action and rude humor)
