I don’t know WHO has decided that this movie is good but they, and all of the critics following, are wrong. The soundtrack lacks any sort of emotion, with arpeggios at every moment of supposed feeling and the same tired melody over and over again. Where are the motifs to make you feel connected to a character? Where are the moment of tension for the audience to decide how they feel? There are none. And please can we JUST take a moment to acknowledge the pop song that they shoved into the middle of the movie that is THE most generic and boring song in the world? C’mon. Dreamworks? Nah. Remember Spirit? THAT is how you do storytelling pop music. The script? Ergh. Not the worst thing about it, but the short quips and average story telling leads to a basic a predictable plot. Again, the audience is given no time to question or wonder because the plot is SHOVING it into your face. Please give me a moment to think will ya. I wanted to experience a variety of emotions, not just “oh isn’t it important that robots can have feelings”. We’ve given it a 3, because the visuals are absolutely stunning and we want to give them credit, but if the animation team hadn’t been working their asses off this would have been a one. Also the voice acting wasn’t bad because they got a STACKED cast, but it’s no over the hedge. I know, I’m not a professional, but I really think someone higher up decided that people were gonna like this movie and now everyone is just playing along. In my, non important, opinion. This movie is bad. Go watch How To Train Your Dragon, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, or Wall-e (aka the only robot movie we needed to give us a message).
