  Not the books, but beautiful and sweet

  by janalanevedantam

  My son and I have been reading this book series for the past few months. We have fallen in love with the characters that have been brought to life on the pages before us. As with most "based on book" movies - this attempt is barely able to scratch the surface of the depth and breadth of this wonderful book series, The movie is able to capture, the book's overarching themes of faith & service, passion & purpose,& love & loyalty, but not nearly to the degree with which I would have hoped. Though, I do feel that , as far as movies go, this one is worth the price of the 3D imagery - this movie is quite beautiful and does agree with the "movie in our minds" that my son and I had already developed. Furthermore, the heroic storyline that all of us can identify with is one worthy of praise - in the end.... we all want to believe that good will always triumph over evil, and this movie leaves the viewer celebrating that notion. So go see it and enjoy... ages 7&up. Then read the books!!!

  Felt like I was flying

  by brendep

  It was perfection! Great story, excellent animation/3D, scenes, soundtrack, every little feather looked real, touchable and blew in the slightest breeze. Voices were terrific. All that I say about it, falls flat compared to the cinematography. Unless you hate owls or are afraid of them...you 'll love this movie. There were small children there and we didn't hear any of them crying and noone took their kids out. It was
  spellbinding for all ages. Thank you!!

  Legend of the Guardians

  by shanna_hammond

  Good movie, but once again 3D really didn't do anything to enhance the movie going experience. A true tale of good versus evil. My 6 year old son really enjoyed it.

  Total Hooot

  by

  This movie is awesome. Took the 3 little men (ages 3,6,8) to see this last night in 3D. We waited a long time. It was a little slow in the beginning but as soon as the Owl's started fighting...the kids were jumiping out of their chairs. The 3D wasn't worth it on this movie, sort of wasted. However, its a fun movie like owls and lord of the rings had a baby kid movie.
  
  Enjoy

  Great movie

  by vscheerer

  We saw this movie in 3-D and my son (almost 5) loved it. There were a few parts that were scary, but overall he thought it was so cool that the owls were flying so close to him and he was happy with the good ending.

  Amazing & Unique

  by ChelBear

  I watched Avatar 4 times in IMAX and countless times on Blue Ray. I live near Nashville and the IMAX is flooded so I was unable to see this movie in IMAX - but if I did - I would probably tell you the visuals exceeded those of Avatar. It was a gorgeous movie and I really wish we could of seen it on IMAX.
  
  The story was cute and unique with the owls. You actually learned a lot about owls from the movie. I won't sugar coat everything and say that the story could of been a little better represented but it was TOTALLY worth it. Go see this movie =)

  Beautiful, doesn't deserve any negatives!!!

  by ClapperBoard

  I can't understand why this has not been more highly rated. Animation for this movie is incredible, it is loaded with fun characters, and the story is downright good, go see it now. I was afraid I'd be disappointed, it seemed that the reviews I read were just little above mediocre for the most part. But, I deeply enjoyed the film. I saw an incredible world painted again and again keeping an interesting visual look throughout the film. Please see this one movie in 3-D, it is worth the extra cost. This is not just a kiddies cartoon by any measure. Life, death and the "Circle of Life" are big players in this. Thrown into the mix are some goofy characters when needed for some comic relief. Watching this movie was a good experience and I hope to see more work from this team of creative super-stars. Oh, and be careful, you might just learn something about owls.

  Not for Church Going kids under 10

  by meegasm

  OK let me start by saying as an adult this movie was very good. I am not to sure what the message was but the animation was awesome. I think the message was do not be evil or bad things will happen to you.
  
  Now with that said we took a party of 9 girls ages 6 - 9 to the movie and I was stuck next to the 7 year old church kid. At parts it was dark and scared the bi-jesus (8) out of the church kid. She kept asking when it was going to be over because she was scared. The other kids thought it was cool especially when the one owl was killed and the other owl pured fire on the rope to save the other owls from the blood sucking bats (I am only putting this in their terms, do not shoot the messenger). So any way during the movie my wife spoke to another Mom in the ladies room who had a party of girls as well (She booked the Party room before we did), and she said she thought it was sort of dark for a kids movie. So to wrap up I wouldn't say it was exactly for kids under 8. Rate B

  Very enjoyable

  by DianeN

  The reviewer that said 3d was not needed for this movie is way off base. It just added to the visual effects. My 9 year old grandson never took his eyes off the screen and he gets bored easily. I really enjoyed it also. Hesistated to go because of the critics ratings, but as usual they are looking for something more than just sheer entertainment I guess. I thought it was touching, a little dark and a little funny with good characters and great sound and visual effects.

  So Excellent

  by lg7788a

  This movie was awesome and definitely has a lot of appeal outside the "kids" bracket. The humor was clever,not like other family movies where the jokes are split between ones kids would get and ones that are actually funny that go over their heads. The animation is excellent, the story is engaging, the characters are very real, and there are SO MANY CUTE BABY OWLS. I mean really what more are you asking for people?
