Rating: Summary: Pure entertainment! Review: This movie is not your standard summer movie.... instead, it is a fully entertaining movie masterpiece. Finding Nemo is perhaps the best Disney movie for kids since Toy Story 2, and it delivers for the entire 2 hour length of the film. The basic premise is that an overprotective clownfish loses his son Nemo when he wants to escape the rules and regulations of his father. The result is a fun, comical journey featuring true dedication of a father for his son and the eventual trust that a parent must place in their child as they let them make decisions on their own. A cast of colorful (literally) characters and many funny moments make this surprisingly good movie even better. Several of the fish act like they are on a permanent sugar high, but they are funny and not unbearably annoying. If you thought that Hollywood was going down the tubes with hackneyed slasher fics, action-driven sequels with no plot (The Matrix Reloaded *ahem*), and other vapid movies, think again! I am not yet an adult with children, but I enjoyed Nemo thoroughly. Parents with small children will not mind this movie at all, though some moments are frightening or sad to children under 7. This movie is quite simply a triumph. It is interesting, simple, funny, and beautifully animated. Best of all, it's original and doesn't need a sequel, but knowing Disney.... watch out for Finding Nemo 2: Nemo's Kids.... ugh.
Rating: Summary: HILARIOUS!! Review: This is a really brilliant movie! Believe me, I don't easily like movies, even if I am a cartoon fan. But I was bowled over by this one! I thought Shrek couldn't be outdone, but I had even more fun watching this one than I did watching Shrek. The verbal humour is so slick, flows so thick and fast, you'd want to see it a couple times just to make sure you got all the jokes :). And of course, the animation is great too -- water is one of the most difficult mediums to rend well, and they've done a great job of it -- not to mention the fish, which are gorgeous as well. This is a great family movie -- everyone will find a LOT to enjoy, across age levels. Kudos!! I'm anxiously waiting for the DVD to come out!
Rating: Summary: Mostly Harmless Review: ...unless you highly value your leisure time. The visuals are outstanding, and left me in awe of the creative team behind this movie. The story, however, was formulaic, and the voice talent unimpressive; after several hours of their neurotic, frantic, earnest bumbling, I would be content to never hear the voices of Ellen DeGeneres or Albert Brooks again. The story concerns an overprotective father clownfish who braves the terrors of the hitherto (by him) unexplored ocean in search of his captured son, Nemo. In the meantime Nemo, in his dentist-office fish tank,struggles to make his own way out before he is given as a gift to the dentist's fish-killing niece. I found the pacing slow, and every running gag is beaten over the head until it whimpers. The kids liked it, though, so viewing the movie made for a harmless, although for me, tedious, excursion.
Rating: Summary: 5 stars doesn't do it justice! Review: Pixar has created a masterpiece that should receive a Best Picture nod. Of course, we know that it won't happen. When children and adults can come together for 90 minutes and everyone is entertained, then you have a successful movie. Entertaining, educational, creative and visually stunning. I saw it three times in the theater, and cannot wait for November 4th!! Great movie!
Rating: Summary: Finding Nemo Review: This is a wonderful movie for young, and old alike. The start of the movie is scary with the entire family of Nemo being eaten by a shark except he and his father Marlin. The movie is funny, sad, enlightening, and beautiful with vivid colors under the sea. If you like Toy Story, or Monster's Inc. you'll love this computer generated movie also. Once again, Pixar comes through with a wonderful cast of characters. My children, husband, and I, all went to see this together, and we all loved it. It will be on our shelf of DVD's this fall for sure. We look forward to seeing it over, and over again. Thanks for a great movie!
Rating: Summary: SUPERB Review: this was such a great movie, even though it was targeted toward the children, anybody else could have seen it! this was a great story and all the characters had dazzling personalities and great voices. but if you think about it, isn't it odd that more people would like to see a bunch of talking fish instead of the matrix reloaded or any other movie that was suspected to blow away all of its competitors at the box office?
Rating: Summary: This is a must-buy! Review: I don't know which movie the critic saw who only gave it one star. 'Finding Nemo' is just awesome! The animation, humor and of course Ellen DeGeneres as Dory is high class all the way through the movie. It has all the ingredients that make a Disney movie so special. There was a lot of humor in the interacting of the characters, and I do hope that Ellen DeGeneres will be asked to lend her voice to more Disney characters in future projects. In my opinion, this movie deserves a place on the DVD shelf of any fan of Disney Films, right next to the equally great and funny 'Lilo and Stitch'. 'Finding Nemo' is a movie you can watch over and over, and never tire of.
Rating: Summary: All need to see! Review: I think this is a very excilent movie. It is a excilent movie for childrens and adults to see. so don't hesitate and go see it for your self.

Rating: Summary: dont listen to the over protective reviews here Review: Okay, its a great movie, funny, deep story if you go beyond the simplicity of it all. In depth characters and amazing visuals, what we have all come to respect, expect, and love from pixar. I see, many comments here about the opening scene in the movie where nemo's mom is eaten by a barricuda (not eel). Now i must say that this scene was somewhat disturbing, but no worse than snow white, or nightmare before christmas. Dont get me wrong, i loved "nightmare", but SW was pretty scary if you really think about it. I see alot of people talking about all sorts of things, like the unfairness of nemos lucky fin, and how it was not taken to heart that it was a "disability". That may seem like something important to adults, but kids dont go to a moive and think "thats not right, thats a disability, it should be treated as one, what an unfortuante individual this young clown fish must be!" Its a disney movie, kids make their parents take them to it to see cute, lovable characters, not politicaly correct terms and understanding about those with disabiliys. So, all in all, its a great movie for kids, and I'm 16 and personally loved it, wonderfull movie all around. And whats up with this "stereotypical dentist fear" I see here??? I was NEVER scared of the dentist. And all the crap about "kids are scared of root canals", they dont even know what that is!!! So stop getting all protective about this movie and going on about all the minor flaws that only some massivly overprotective parent would bother digging up, and enjoy the movie for what it is. Cute cheap enertainment, trying to deliver 2 hours of fun, and thats exactly what it does.
