Sidra Syed The film, to start with- escaladed very quickly into the adventure sequence which is great because I love kids adventure flicks for that same reason. The only problem I find with the plot is the blatant "bar" scene with Rastafarians while the three main characters have a green spewing drink. Its completely okay in the film and the characters get intoxicated like its nothing- note that the main character who turns into a Minimoy is actually a twelve year old. Its terribly unsuitable for young children and I would never show the film to anyone under 15 because of it.Aside for that scene, and if you ignore how unrealistic and sexual the female lead's body is, its actually entertaining, unpredictable and kind of adorable.

Neil Welch The feeling of oddness arises, I think, from what appears to be an English-speaking live-action real-world adventure grafted onto a Fench original CGI fantasy. The joining together is done very well, but it's still a Welsh dresser top on a G Plan sideboard.Having said that, the film is entertaining, and features top notch voice talent, albeit in weird combinations. In what other film would you expect to encounter Robert De Niro and Snoop Dogg? The story is engaging and always moving forwards, but don't expect to encounter anything which will surprise you.And thank heaven for CGI, courtesy of which the romantic interest between 48 year old Madonna and 14 year old Freddie Highmore doesn't seem too weird.This is a decent family film.

Filiberto Balderrama García OK, I was reading on internet, and I finally understood the problem, the US and UK version were edited!!!!! more than edited, they were raped, seriously, there were 9 minutes of the movie that were deleted 9 minutes really important for the story.I'm Mexican and I had the chance to watch the original version, and I must say it's not my favorite children's movie but it has a lot of good points, so I'm expecting the sequels. Really, check the original version is way lot better.Changing topic (because this thing won't let me post until I complete ten lines and I've already said all that I wanted to say) the principal actor Freddie Highmore is really surprising me, I loved him on the Charlie's Chocolate Factory and he's been doing a great work since then, I think is just matter of time for this kid to make the big jump to the great leagues, I think he will surprise us on a maybe not so far future.

hony-4 I have seen a lot of children's movies out there that have used CGI animation and other techniques to make a film more attractive to an audience, of both kids and adults. When I was going to watch this movie with my little sister, I thought it would be an OK kids movie. I was wrongThe main thing that bugged me about this movie was the acting and the actors that they choose. I mean you can have a musical guest star in a film every once in a while, but nearly every main character in the movie was a stinking movie artist. You had Madonna, Snoop Dogg, and David Bowie, and other voices including Jimmy Fallon and Robert De Niro. Now when you put all of these actors together, you get a bad cast. There is nothing new in this film, just a bunch of the same actors and artist that you have know for around 20 years. You can tell that the people who made this movie spent all their money on acting jobs, which sucked. They could have actually have searched through the archive and grab someone who was a little better at the job, actually take some times to take a look at the newbies or even those that have been around for a while, but have not been in a big roll on a Motion Picture. The only good actor in this movie i though was David Bowie. The story line was OK, but there were times where I was confused on what the heck was going on. The film really had a weird ending as well. The animation was good, but half the time I was freaked out by how the Minimoys looked from start to finish. Mix Lord of the Rings with Cabbage Patch kids and it still wouldn't be as bad as this.I think that they could have made this film so much better. It looks like they ran out of money as soon as they started production on this cursed film. Don't waste your time, its not good as all! Effects were good, and animation was great, but don't let that deceive you. Its the story that really matters, and trust me, these people need to go back to English class.
