Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

jennilynn-hayes I don't know why there are so many negative reviews, this movie was fun for the whole family. Loved the story line and the music...your kids will love it

sporeviews I did not like this movie, for several reasons:1. The characters were flat, one-dimensional, and oddly unlikable. I didn't like Poppy, because she was just a huge modern Disney Princess cliché, and Branch was incredibly rude and obnoxious.2. The message was basically "be happy, all the time always, and everything will just sort itself out". That is not only a terrible, and dangerous message to 5 year old's, it's also painting the world in a black and white format, which is not how the world works. Kids need to learn knowledge and awareness to survive in the real world. And finally..3. Why would Dreamworks make this movie? I get it was probably just trying to be a simple, kids movie cash-grab, but that's not an excuse for sucking. Remember, Dreamworks can make amazing movies from time to time, like The Prince Of Egypt, or Spirit, that can even battle 1900's Disney movies. While this movie isn't the worst by Dreamworks standards, it's still a bland, cookie-cutter movie, made just to sell merchandise.

Ilikehorrormovies This is the biggest letdown that Dreamworks ever made! They try to be Disney but TOO MUCH SINGING!! Disney movies are better because they limit their singing. Anyways they sing so much that I don't know what's the story, hell if there is a story. It tried to be hip for kids and ends up being all hipster and stuff. I rather watch that cheesy horror movie with the same name then this crap. DON'T WATCH IT!!!

lesmoughjames As far as contemporary kid's films go, this film is what you should expect; it's relevant to young children with it's jokes, references and song choice and the visuals are somewhat pleasing. A young child will love this movie for sure but for an adult it can be a bit of a pain to sit through due the aforementioned features. Now, the reason I watched this film is because my younger sister turned it on at a relatives house whom we were visiting- I decided I may as well watch it too. Towards the beginning, I had no interest in the film of course, until a bit later on, I try to search for the message of the film. The ogres or whatever- the deplorable looking guys that eat the trolls- spontaneously start singing "Clint Eastwood" by Gorillaz. This is what really confused me because this is a song about smoking weed to get happy, and those creatures likewise,eat the trolls to be happy. So my guess is that the song choice was intentional, a belief backed up later by the film when the main protagonist says some tripe about 'not consuming things to be happy'. Is this film a 90 minute advert on not doing drugs? I guess my mind looks too far into stupid superficial things when I'm bored. If you're looking for a good family movie, just watch Kubo.
