Rating: Summary: Fish just aren't warm and cuddly Review: I'm a great fan of Pixar films. We've got DVDs of all of the previous movies. However, Finding Nemo just isn't up to the same standards. As a comedy, it just isn't that funny. It's filled with disaster after disaster. It's more an adventure film than a comedy. But in the end, I really didn't care that much about the characters. They're fish. Okay, so A Bug's Life is about bugs. But I liked Flick. I rooted for him. He had pluck, spunk, etc. You could argue the same for some of the characters in Finding Nemo, but they just didn't click with me. Pixar movies have had formulaic plots. That can be a criticism, but I missed the singular bad guy in this movie. Every preceding Pixar movie had one. The sharks in Finding Nemo were trying to be good. The humans that captured Nemo presented a challenge, but they weren't malicious. Jelly fish are dangerous, deadly even, but they mostly just float there. They aren't evil incarnate, such as, say, the "Sid" character in Toy Story or the chameleon character in Monsters, Inc. There's no common thread to the adventure, other than the dad and his new found side kick running into one challenge after another. In the end, the dad's efforts didn't even have anything to do with his son's escape. Where's the emotional payoff in that? This is a technical triumph and visually stunning, but only so-so from a story stand-point.
Rating: Summary: waaaaaayyyyyyyyyy cooooooolllllllllll !!! Review: I am writing this review on behalf of my 5 yr old son. His words were as exactly as my title, " Waaaaaaayyyyyy Coooooollllllll" He saw it twice, whereas I only saw it the one time. Spending it with him was one of the greatest days a father and son can have. All I can hope is for Disney Pixar To keep Movies like "Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc., etc" on coming.
Rating: Summary: The Movie Industry Needs Pixar Review: Why? Where most studios go on a hit and miss mentality and are at their best are above-average in putting out great movies, the whizzes at Pixar are seemingly on a sacred mission to please movie-goers with classic but innovative storytelling and eye-popping computer animation. That tradition is carried on proudly by "Finding Nemo," Pixars' fifth outing in the movie biz. And the question begs, "How much better can they get?" The plot revolves around a over-protective clownfish named Marlin (Albert Brooks) and his son, Nemo (Alexander Gould). Marlin is terrified of losing Nemo like he lost his wife and other children to a hungry sea predator. So when Nemo is kidnapped by a dentist diver from Australia, Marlin goes on a mad search for him. Along the way, befriends Dory (Ellen Degeneres) whose short-term memory problem is a pain for Marlin, but hilarious scatterbrained humor for the audience. To support Dory and Marlin, is the movies' lush and and vibrant computer animation. An ocean environment in tough to capture in animation because everything is in constant motion with changing currents. However, directors Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich make it all look easy. They serve up some eye-catching chase and cliffhangar scenes but their real strength is making you feel the ocean and all its many diverse plants and animals with genuine authticity. The star of "Finding Nemo" may not be the touching Albert Brooks or the uncanny Ellen Degeneres, but the water environment that surrounds them. But the stars of the movie are the many characters and the wildly imaginative screenwriters. Each separate characters are deftly developed that you find yourself caring for them so much. Albert Brooks is poigiant and so touching as Marlin, who goes through major changes in his search for his son. Ellen Degeneres is laugh-out-loud hilarious as Dory, but is equally as touching as Marlin is a scene in the an Australian bay that makes you want to cry softly to yourself. Also Wllem Dafoe and Brad Garret (Everybody Loves Raymond) turn up as inhabitants of the dentist diver's office aquarium and turn in colorful performances. In a sequel-filled summer that has performed below expectations, isn't it ironic that the summers' most commercially and critically successful movie involves talking fish? Not really, because "Finding Nemo"s storytelling is so unforced and nuanced, its vocal actors so natural in their roles, the characters so memorable and the animation so fluid, that is becomes clear why "Finding Nemo" is this summer's biggest hit.
Rating: Summary: The best movie since Lion King Review: We took our two kids 9 times to see it at the theater they just don't get tired of it. It's the best the colors the graphics the story. To those that have not seen it your missing the fun. I just can't wait to get my hands on the dvd. it's great for the entire family.
Rating: Summary: Nemo Is Found Excellent! Review: This movie is truly amazing. With tons of unique characters and locations, it's no wonder why this movie should be nominated for Best Film at the Academy Awards next year. It should only be beaten by The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King. It is Pixar's best movie and tied with The Lion King and Spirited Away for the best animated movie ever.
Rating: Summary: Excellent movie for kids AND parents Review: We took our kids to see this film while on vacation in the Grand Canyon area of Arizona. Freak thunderstorms had ruined our day of hiking and picnicking, so we took a break in the theater. Well worth the stop! While not nearly as hyped as some of this summer's kid-oriented schlock, this film kicks all of their butts, and the butts of some more familiar past animated flicks. Say goodbye to Buzz Lightyear, this year's model is Nemo. Can't wait for the DVD.
Rating: Summary: LOVED IT!!! Review: This one is a keeper, when it comes out on DVD it will be a welcome addition to my collection. My son (2 1/2) was a little scared with the diver scene in the beginning but enjoyed the movie after that. We both loved the turtles!!! A must see for adults and kids alike, go even at prime time because it's WORTH IT!!
Rating: Summary: Very Well Done Review: I love this animation so much You will completely love it. It is so charming What a amazing advnture.
Rating: Summary: Findind Nemo Review: By far the best anitmated Disney movie to date. I brought my daughter who is 3 years old, along with cousins varing from ages 7-12 years of age. They all seemed to enjoy and be captured by what they were seeing. Graphically the movie is very intense. The flow, texture and artistry is amazing. If you have a big screen t.v. you'll enjoy this movie even more. It's funny,sad and exciting. Maybe I'm just a kid at heart ! I found myself to be viewing this movie as a video tech first then as a little kid wanting to be in the movie. If your kids love the ocean this is a movie to get.
