Solid movie, laughed a lot, neat twist on old tales

by miss-medea

The story of how Jack Frost became real and a guardian of children. This is a Jack Frost that you can see having fun with kids and protecting them, even if he doesn't know it. The other Guardians are unique, my favorite was the Sandman. When the evil Boogeyman tries to crush the spirit of fun, happiness and wonder in children, the Guardians step up to keep giving kids reasons to believe. It doesn't always work out and the Guardians lose some battle but win the war. The kids in the movie theater seemed to not understand who the bad guy was and what he was doing, I know I laughed out loud more than they did. I enjoyed it enough to look forward to buying it.

Rise of The Guardians on Christmas Eve

by likes the popcorn

Great Movie for adults and kids. As a single person on Christmas Eve it was great to hear the children laughing at parts of the movie, they seemed totally engaged and offered quite a bit of applause at the end.
For myself, Dreamworks may actually have matured beyond putting endless Hollywood in jokes in the movie ( think Shrek ). The 3D/HD animation was outstanding and the characterization was good. That each of the spirits had strengths and weaknesses was pleasantly portrayed. The underlying theme of preserving the wonder and joys of childhood as expressed in the characters sentiments was very nicely drawn over the length of the movie. Jack Frost's coming of age, so to speak, as a guardian was one of the nicest character revelations that I've seen in awhile. Also the little visual sidebar scenes of the small elves being themselves was very funny.

Go and Enjoy and listen to the kids laughter, it's worth the price of admission.

Not as dark as previews make it appear

by

I was worried that my squeamish 6-year-old would be scared by this movie, as the previews seemed rather dark. Basing my judgment on previous reviews, however, three generations went and everyone absolutely loved it. The story is a bit dark, but the message is great and uplifting. Highly recommended.

An absolute must!!

by hine76

I saw it in 3D - didn't seem to malke much difference until the snowflake at the end. But it was well worth the price. Hugh Jackman did an EGGscellent job as the Easter Bunny! Chris Pine was perfect as Jack Frost. And pay attention to the elves! If you have kids, take them! Even if you don't have kids, GO!

I believe!

by coasterjudge

Fantastic film! I've seen it 4 times already and loved it every single time! Every character from Jude Law as Pitch, to Chris Pine as Jack Frost was wonderfully performed. The art style, and special effects are absolutely beautiful. All I can say is, I believe! Do you?

Rise of The Guardians

by journeylandjudy2

Excellent job by Dreamworks. Great plot and the story line moved quickly. This was the first time in a theater for my 4 year old and she along with her 8 year old brother loved it and are still talking about it today.

Stay during the credits

by

This was an enjoyable movie that had a decent number of emotional moments to it, be it happy or sad or even a little sappy. You feel for the heroes as well as the villain, and it is a rather unexpected ride throughout.

Hugh Jackman as the Easter Bunny was brilliant.

Beautiful

by drayllih

This will be one of my favorites and a must have in my DVD collection. It's up there with what I consider my favorite movies of all time. I think I enjoyed it even more than my kids did. It's magical, much more so than Polar Express which had always bored me.

One of the Most Beautiful Movies I have seen in years....

by vkd62025

The cinematography is AMAZING. I am not over fond of CG features, but my son persuaded me to go and see this one, and I loved it. I think it may be a new Holiday Classic. The story is timeless, but it also reinvents several beloved mythical characters (without giving anything away here). It's a fun romp. Kids will love it. This adult did, too.
