I went to the cinema a couple of times when I was on my little vacation. I went to see the new Disney Pixar film UP and also Fantastic Mr Fox.
There's been a lot of hype about both films; UP especially. I think when films get a lot of hype and positive attention like this they tend to make people go in with higher expectations than they otherwise maybe wouldn't have. I don't know if this was the case with me but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. The first half I felt was good with plenty of laughs and gaffs put into it but I found myself actually getting slightly bored during the middle of it. Nevertheless, I thought that all in all it was ok. Not amazing but not terrible either.
Fantastic Mr Fox is of course based on the book of Roald Dahl's. You can definitely feel the crazy vibe of Dahl seeping through the movie! It's wacky, witty and a little bit odd! The film has been done in traditional stop motion which was brilliant and very interesting for me, the budding animator! Personally, I really liked it but I don't think it's for you if you don't like films that are even the tiniest bit kooky.
So there was my attempt at being a movie critic! These are just my thoughts on the films so don't let me put you off if you wanted to see them. Go and have a watch of them and tell me what you thought!
