Rise Of The Guardians

by Sherbein

I was a little unsure how a strange beginning would coalesce into a coherent movie, but it happened. The animation was wonderful, the characters interesting but the story became a bit too Hollywood. All told a very fine movie worth seeing again. My children, my wife and I all agreed that Rise of the Guardians was wonderful. Entertainment for the whole family.

LOVED it!

by LittleBittieOne

I must admit, when I had viewed the trailer I was not very excited about seeing this movie. I had thought that the trailer had already given so much away. NOT THE CASE AT ALL. My 7 year old son was so excited to see this movie, so my husband and I sucked it up and went with my son. This movie was not just hilarious, it had a real meaning behind it which was an added bonus. The visual effects, humor and story were great for the whole family! Can't wait for the DVD so we can make this a holiday tradition.

Kids, wife and nanny loved it... me? not so much

by

They kind of stuffed a bunch of plot into a movie but the material was probably more appropriate for a mini-series. Hence, the brisk through stories that combine in a not-so-good manner but it definitely worked for my family crew. I'd give it a 2.5/5 but my family is probably at/above 4 our of 5. My wife was even mad that I didn't really like it much. Oh, well. Your call!

For families and animation lovers it's a MUST GO

by OldManJones

The makers of this movie gave themselves a chance to reinvent those iconic childhood characters and did a great job at that. Every single character is interesting and extremely lovable. Take the kids for sure!!! Beautiful art and animation as well.

Rise Of The Imagination

by

?Rise Of The Guardians? is an uplifting movie revolving around how child-like wonder ties into the various holiday themes of occasions such as Christmas and Easter. Obviously, many people are going to come away with different interpretations of the movie. For me, I saw a positive message of how beliefs play a powerful role in life and that every person has a spiritual purpose to fulfill in their life (regardless of their level of popularity and/or prestige). ?Rise Of The Guardians? is a good film for those who enjoy cheerful animated movies with prevalent holiday themes.

child-reliving

by eleanorgarvey

i thought this movie was really nice i liked how they used jack frost as a human. It has some tear jerking parts but i thought it was amazingly done. funny at parts but a nice family movie to relive your childhood and the mysteries of the invisible "guardians" .

Surprisingly Enjoyable

by mandjreid

Based on the plot, I didn't expect to like this movie very much; I didn't think we needed any more movies dealing with desperation for people to "just believe". However, my family and I found it quite enjoyable. The animation and visual imagery are wonderful; the characters and voices are very entertaining; and it entices a great mix of emotions -- laughing, tears, and just plain fun. I didn't see anything that I would find inappropriate for small children, and yet it's done in a way that's still enjoyable for teens and young adults. If you're looking for an enjoyable way to spend time with your family, this is a great option.

A great holiday movie

by mariska.howell

Really enjoyed it - the characters, the storyline - everything! Brought my 4 and 7 yr old with me....a tad scary for the 4 yr old at times, but both kids thoroughly enjoyed the movie

Best movie I've seen in a while...

by iamgradys

This movie was awesome! The plot was very creative and the characters were hilarious and cute at the same time. It was very exciting to watch, and I recommend anyone to go see it---whether you have kids or not (I don't).

Perfect!

by

I absolutely loved Rise of the Guardians. From the beginning of the film with the Dreamworks Moon introduction to the last credit, the thought, character development, graphics and story are spot on!

It is refreshing to see a movie that embraces our traditions but ingeniously evolved the depth of these stories. There are too many movies that come out and jump on the band wagon of being an animated movie that figures they will make the big box office bucks just because it's animated.....

this film deserves to have big box office success and favor.

I love when you see a movie and it surprises you with the way they see a world or a character and it's brilliant; something you can easily accept but didn't see that was right there for you to get.

The story line and humor are excellent and this is a great film for the holidays or anytime you want to sit back and have a blast!

GO SEE IT! You will thank me later....

What a great movie!

by yogini_nitya

Beautiful animation, great characters with strong personalities, the movie flows easily with the impending doom of the bogey man taking over children's minds and filling them with nightmares.... That is when the Guardians must rise and protect the innocence and wonderment of children....

Jack Frost trying to find his identity is the other subject of the movie, Jack Frost who many children do not know of and therefore can't see.

My favorite character was the Sandman. What a delightful little character with its golden sand that makes everything look so beautiful and.... dreamy...

The plot keeps thickening until the climax of the end, a climax that's left to the children who can finally recapture their dreams and beliefs.

Great fun for all

by mnmommy

Was not expecting much from this movie but my kids were very excited to see it. Actually really enjoyed it. It took a different spin on a story we've heard many times and made me really want to believe as well. Loved all the characters and the storyline was entertaining as well.

liznavard I find myself wondering why Jack Frost from rise of the guardians voice is so beautiful and then I realized it was because it's Chris Pine
