Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for all ages
Review: The humor as well as visuals that this movie contains can be enjoyed by all ages. A great gift idea as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: OOOOH, so funny.
Review: While the beginning of the movie is sad, and melancholy is laced throughout the whole movie, Finding Nemo is a lovable piece of art your kids will love. With characters like the Turtle that reflects many of the guys at my surf-obsessed school, it's so cute.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pixar Did it Again. Great Film about Love and Adventure
Review: Should I heap another praise on this masterpiece? Why not? Everyone should know that Pixar never gets it wrong, and, yes, they prove it again! "Finding Nemo" is entertaining, unpredictable, and most of all, very touching picture.

The story involves a father and son -- only that they are fish. Nemo is the only son of Marlin, a good-natured but slightly nervous clownfish who always worries about his beloved son, but too much worry makes Nemo rather uncomfortable in his school. Actually, on the first day, the father and son have an argument about Marlin's over-protecting attitude.

But when Nemo is captured by a human, and is taken away from the world Marlin belongs to, the desperate father takes chance to do whatever he must do. But unlucky Marlin, the only help he can get is a scatterbrained fish Dory, whose memory last only ... er ... 5 seconds.

The rest of the film you don't need any more explanations. The delightful adventures of Nemo (trying to escape from a tank) and Marlin (trying to locate Nemo) is shown one after the other. Maybe this way of storytelling somehow deprives the plot of the smooth flow of character change seen in, say, "Monsters Inc." However, the well-scripted film keeps on going, with its unpredictable turns given from interesting supports (including sharks attending some "meeting"), and as the film reaches the ending, it certainly moves your heart, possibly to tears.

We must give voice actors due praise. You never forget the great vocal performance of the pair Albert Brooks as Marlin, and Ellen DeGeneres as Dory. They deserve some awards, giving the CGI-created fishes the real life. Possibly, these fishes are better actors than some Hollywood starlets. And the CGIs are perfect, expressing the delicate movements of water, and slight shades of ever-changing colors in the south sea.

In short, don't miss it. The fact that it is an animation should not discourage adults from viewing it. It is great. It is terrific. And it has a heart. And a big one too.

Don't forget to see the end of the film, in which you get the most uproarious gag in the film. And one guest character from "Monster Inc" too.

Summary: A movie to grown fond of
Review: The more I think about it, the more fond I am of it. The movie's morality, classic storyline and flawed yet heroic characters... Finding Nemo is much more than just a parent son story.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This has to be the worst....
Review: I missed this movie whilst it was in theaters, so i was bummed... my brother, grandma, aunts, uncles, etc. all saw it and said it was great...

So when this came out on DVD I was excited to see it, i grabbed it as soom as we got home, went up to my room, put it im my Pc and was ready for the "magic"

20 minutes later, i was sleeping...

for about a week I bragged that it "put me to sleep" since I was the only one I knew who had fallen asleep, but to be fair, i watched it again... it was horrible...

There is nothing funny about this movie at all, it is neither "funny", "Heartwarming", or anything else the reviews and my family said...

Also, there was alot of stuff they could have done that they didn't, like Nemo's fin, all they really used his broken fin for is symbolysm to never give up, while they could have had some jokes about it or something

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a disney hater who hates everything they churn out, though i don't really like disney, i do have some favorites, Aladin, POTC, and others ring a bell...

I also loved the other DIsney/Pixar collaborations, Toy Story is STILL funny after 10 years, A Bug's Life still makes me laugh, Toy Story 2 is pretty cool, and Monsters Inc. is ok.

But, here is one of the problems, Pixar needed advertising when it came out because nobody knew who they were, who would see anything by a company nobody has every heard of?

Disney ended up loving the idea for Toy Story and decided to distribute it, this would make big bucks for Disney who hadn't actually made a good movie since Aladin (in my oppinion) since then, and needed a good one, and Pixar would get money in return because, hey, its a Disney movie.

Pixar became a household name and as of now is actually considering going on their own, and they can... because they are popular and good enough. But, Disney is holding on to them for everything because thats all they have, their animated movies are pulling in little to none.

but, back to Nemo, the fish are all one-dimentional and every joke in this movie is just another Clishe, unlike other Pixar movies which had new ideas, who had, up intil now, heard of talking toys, Bugs, or monsters that scare for a "living"?

But, now we are back to talking animals something that Disney has (sarcasm) NEVER DONE BEFORE! (end sarcasm)

I have a feeling that Pixar, in light of the whole "wanting to break away from Disney" thing, decided to make a sucky movie so Disney wouldnt want them anymore, but sadly it backfired, and has become Disney's most succesful movie ever...

You can see that Pixar is trying to be funny, but disneys restrictions prevent that....

Now, you don't have to be discusting to be funny, but you can tell Disney really wanted the G rating

Now, something good that came out of this is that now, Pixar can't possible make anything worse than this, so the next one will probably be good...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Go Nemo!
Review: Easily the most enjoyable and beautifully crafted computer-animated movie made to date - bar none. It represents a refreshing and much-needed return to form (read: Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y) for Disney Pictures. Chances are you've already heard about this film or know someone who has seen it. Now that I've seen the DVD, it's easy to see what all the buzz was about. The plot provides the film title: Marlin, a father clown fish on the Australian Great Barrier Reef, has been separated from his son Nemo, who has been netted and suddenly transplanted to a Sydney dentist's aquarium. Thus follows Marlin's epic journey to find and reunite with the youngster. Along the way we are treated to a virtual feast of visual sensory overload of colorful scenes, exciting adventures and a host of hilariously unique sea creatures that permanently endear themselves to you whether you like it or not. Anyone with a heartbeat will love this movie. A slam-dunk, unqualified recommendation for all ages.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love Finding Nemo
Review: I like this movie because it's funny. I like Nemo and Squirt the turtle. I like Nemo's dad and because he has a funny friend who doesn't remember things. The movie is sad because the babies died and only one is left who is Nemo. I like the happy ending. Bye thanks for reading my review.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Instant Disney Classic
Review: Finding Nemo looked like a cute movie for kids, but it turned out to be a movie for all ages. Even if you had gone into the movie with the attitude of, "I'm gonna hate this.", you would walk out saying, "Wow, that was great!!" There was at least one character that everyone could relate to. If you are a little forgetful, you could relate to Dory. If you are a worry wart, you can relate to Marlin. It is an all around good movie. Not to mention the preview for, The Incredibles, was great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Cute Movie
Review: Finding Nemo is such a sweet movie. I admit I cried at a couple points in the movie. The first point was out of sadness, when Marlin woke up to find that his wife and eggs had been eaten by a shark. The second time was... well... at first happy, then sad, then happy again. But since that's toward the end of the movie, I won't discribe that part since I know some people haven't seen it yet.

It's probably the most touching Disney/Pixar movie since Toy Story. And the animation's really good. I love how Disney always has a way of making animals so human-like.

It's a really good movie for both adults and kids. And there's some fun special features, too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Wonderful Movie for Everyone
Review: To tell the truth, I've been meaning to see "Finding Nemo" since it came out, but just never got around to doing it. So last Saturday, I caved in, took a trip to Blockbuster's and watched it. I don't regret a second of it.

My friend Robert was initially reluctant to go see this movie because he believed it would be a "silly children's movie." Naturally, I argued with him. Several months after this, he came up to me one day and admitted that he'd just seen "Finding Nemo" and had been totally wrong about it. He absolutely loved it. Actually, I think it would be hard not to.

"Finding Nemo" is simply the best animated movie I've seen in a very long time (probably since "The Lion King"). From the very menu screen on (just trust me), it's wonderful. It's simply hilarious and it's very, very cute. It starts out with a beginning worthy of "Bambi" and proceeds to tell the tale of a father and his son, two clownfish who live on the reef. It's very rare to see such an endearing father-son film as this one - "Finding Nemo" is terrifically special in that sense.

The story itself involves Marlin (Nemo's dad) trying to find his lost son and Nemo himself trying to escape from the aquarium he has been trapped in. In his journey, Marlin encounters Dory, who is personally my favorite character in the film. Dory has some problems with her short term memory. Ellen DeGeneres does a beautiful, funny job as Dory's voice. My very favorite scene is about two seconds long, but I'd watch the whole movie just for it: it involves Dory's "squishy" (a little jellyfish), but beyond that, you'll just have to see it for yourself. Yes, it's really that good!

The story and characters are certainly memorable in themselves. Yet, the visual imagery in "Finding Nemo" is simply breathtaking. It looks *real*, truly underwater, right down to the shafts of sunlight and the rippling pattern of the light on the reef. The DVD even has an "aquarium" feature so you can just relax and stare at scenes from the reef. I really don't know how to describe with it, but my response was sheer amazement. I didn't know we could do stuff like that!

"Finding Nemo" has definitely worked its way into being one of my favorite movies. I bet in ten or twenty years from now it will be as much a classic as "E.T." and "Sleeping Beauty" are now.
