Rise of the Guardians Movie Review: | |
| Less-than-compelling storyline. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com Rise of the Guardians is harmless enough, and the lack of easy pop-culture jokes represents the post-Shrek direction of DreamWorks well enough. But this is the studio's least entertaining film. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune The conceit has its charms but too much of this movie, directed by Peter Ramsey, is more clamorous than inspired, and little kids might find parts of it too scarily intense. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor 'Rise of the Guardians' is an effervescent dose of fantasia that's pretty hard to dislike. Unless, of course, you're a cynical grump. Derek Adams-Time Out The script seems to have been written by committee, with members lobbying for each major character, and the action, set in vast environments all over the map, spreads itself so thin that a surfeit of motion vitiates emotion. Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal Too cluttered and manic to bring real pleasure. Stephanie Zacharek-NPR There's plenty to enjoy here, with the witty back and forth between our heroes rarely lost amidst the CG-crafted spectacle that whizzes across rooftops and dives into burrows. James White-SFX Magazine A beautiful fantasy adventure that might change a few minds about the power and importance of these childhood fantasy characters. Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight A weirdly dark but not-bad-for-a-kiddie-flick action romp. Phil Villarreal-COEDMagazine.com DreamWorks' newest picture is definitely one for the kids, but director Peter Ramsey makes it fun enough to put a smile on parents' faces. Nour Habib-Tulsa World An entertaining experience, whether you see it in 3-D or 2-D, 'Rise of the Guardians' is an enjoyable adventure for all ages. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) The animation's usually a visual delight. There's enough visual spark and inventiveness to make this animated adventure rise above the Christmas crowd of flicks. Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) Alas, a sweet heart and a tender message aren't enough to save Rise of the Guardians from its overly sugary ways. Gabe Leibowitz-Film and Felt Rise of the Guardians delivers a giddy, kinetic excitement as its heroes whoosh and swoop through the air, or glide and skitter on ice. Jason Best-Movie Talk In one of the best, brightest, most beautifully realised and visually sumptuous tentpole animation films of the year...an absolute joy to behold, as lovingly made a piece of corporate entertainment as you're likely to find at the multiplex. Jim Schembri-3AW One of the best surprises of 2012. Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed Delivers an entertaining twist on the fabricated mascots that kids will enjoy. Liam Maguren-Flicks.co.nz From the wind rustling through Jack Frost's white hair to the panoramic vistas as they fly through the sky, it all looks amazing. Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane Whatever its agenda might (or might not) be, Rise of the Guardians is a surprisingly rousing tale with a story that resonates easily, if not deeply. Tim Martain-The Mercury Rise of the Guardians is both reasonably quirky and mildly serious. It wants children to believe there's more to animation than fast food tie-ins. Craig Mathieson-The Sunday Age This lovely fantasy has been brought to beautiful 3D life by Peter Ramsey, the visual effects are really something. Margaret Pomeranz-At the Movies (Australia) The villain begins by kidnapping Tooth's worker fairies: it's never clear how she's so human-sized and they're all fairy-sized and have no voices, or how they're the workers and she's management. Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters More exhausting than exciting, but there are enough amusing gags to prevent on-the-fence viewers -- and critics -- from going full Scrooge on the final product. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing Youngsters will enjoy the diversion with the film's cute characters and creative visuals although there is a frenetic feel about the action that tends to overwhelm the story on an emotional level. As a result, there is little heart that resonates Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile While the concept is novel - and the animation often dazzling - the story and characterisations soon prove trite, condescending and dull. Tom Clift-Moviedex An unusual 3D tale about a playful free spirit who is thrilled to become a Guardian who watches over children. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice | |
