Rise Of Guardians

by austfree

Very well done....kids enjoyed it...not too long, so parents can make it through ok.
Nothing great on the 3D experience, so would recommend seeing it in just regular 2D

Thought it was just "ok"

by indie_movies_rock

The plot of this movie moved fairly slowly and thought the mood of it was too dark for kids. I thought the villian of the movie was a particularly dark figure and that it was a little too scary in some scenes for small kids. That said, i did think the animation was fantastic and the viewer cannot help but be captivated by the flight scenes.

Rise of the Guardians

by Hortman42

Great movie! Whole family enjoyed it.... I thought the Good vs. Evil violence was downplayed in a brilliant way... My son 6 was not scared during the movie, 3D was not overdone, but did create a more vivid experience. What r u waiting 4.... GO!!!

Way to go Dreamworks

by movie~addict96

I LOVED this movie. The promise of Jack Frost, a Russian Santa, and Australian Easter Bunny lured me in and once I was there they had me. The movie was really good and they took it to places I didn't expect. Dreamworks usually does a good job and for me this was just another job well done.

So imaginative and fun.

by pauliemillah

I really really liked this movie. It was more exciting than I thought it was going to be, and more bad***, too. The whimsical holiday stuff was nicely balanced with humor and action, to the point where nothing felt super forced. For a movie ABOUT the imagination and believing in magic, it never felt too hamfisted or underdeveloped.

Rise of the Guardians

by anita.dougherty

Immortal Guardians (Tooth Fairy, Sandman, Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and the Elves, & Jack Frost) will thwart an evil boogeyman named Pitch Black. It was GREAT!!! The children themselves fought to keep the Evil Boogeyman at bay!!!

Such an experience

by

I was really excited about this movie before I even stepped in the theatre. Yes, it is a kids movie, but that doesn't mean it's just for kids. I was not disappointed in the least. The story was fantastic, enjoyable by both children and adults alike. The animation is incredibly impressive. Awestruck.

Awesome

by

My 7 year old grandson and I went to see it and he LOVED it. He says he believes in Jack Frost now, he never knew who he was ... But now he can't wait till he comes! and for the rest of the day he thought he was an Austrailian bunny and spoke to everyone in an accent!!
He asked to see it again as soon as we left!!

Great Movie

by cottlej

I took two 8 year old boys to this movie and they loved it. I thought it was very good as well. I wouldn't advise taking small children as it might tend to scare them a little. The 3D effects were very well done.

My child and I saw in 3D, so worth it! You could almost grab the snow flakes! If you get a little motion sickness, be prepared!

Sometimes lovely, but misses the mark emotionally

by jxbeirne

I really wonder why writing, which requires only a pencil and a piece of paper, seems to the the component most often neglected in film making.

Everyone tries real hard to make it fun. It gets maudlin.

OK But....

by bcjbmovies

My son (17) and his friends loved it, especially the Russian Santa with the tattoos but my husband and I thought it was just OK. Maybe I'm over thinking but some explanation of why the "Guardians" look completely different from how most people see them in their mind's eye would help, Also why was the Boogie Man not called the Boogie Man but called Pitch Black? Needed more story development.

That said, teenagers love it and the fact that it was short was a plus
