Michael Ledo I liked the cliche filled film, even if your kid didn't.Norm is a polar bear who was born with the ability to speak English, and by English I mean American English and not that stuff with foreign accents. When the ironically named Mr. Greene decides to build modern homes in the Arctic, Norm travels to NYC in an attempt to save his home and later that Grandpa thing. He meets the very do-able Vera, drawn almost anime style as they attempt to rescue everybody in this formula film.There are multiple themes about saving the Arctic and wildlife, but no mention of that global warming thing, a controversial subject that only 99% of the planet can agree upon. There is an us (99%) vs them (1 %) theme in a Mr. Greene statement yet his investors turn out to be good guys. Mr Greene has a name which warns us that not everything labeled "green" is actually "green" and not all NY real estate moguls live up to their name. I am not sure why the NYC council has legal jurisdiction over the Arctic, but plot continuity is not a sell point.The cutesy film is also a musical and should have an appeal to the 5-8 year old group with fart humor and "Shut Up and Dance With Me" number.
Crazy Chicken NorM OF the North is The best movie ever made! FroM its COMplex plot, to COMpelLing villain, the only problem is that it doesn't delve as much into Mister GreEne's backstory as the extended universe does. BuT the LEMMINGs really steal the show. They are so funny! I can't believe that someone would rip them off and create 'the minions'. The LemMings were SoooOooo funny when they peed in the fish tanks. ANd the movie knows ThAT the AUdience will love it, because they made it 30 seconds long!IT DOeS HINt at MISTEr GreeNe's past as a assassin in the scene where he TRIes to shoot Norm in the Diner though. AND IT ALsO SHowS THAT Mister GREENE IS REALLY smart, BEcAuse the SAles for the homes he's selling in the NORTH POLE go up after the video of him trying to shoot Norm goes viral.THERE ISN'T A SINGLE FLAW IN THIS MOVIE! MARVEL PAID THE CRITICS TO HATE THIS MOVIE! 10/10!
The Strict Movie Reviewer Why? WHY?? WHY??? What was LionsGate thinking?? Clearly they were high when they thought of making this film. I'm not kidding, the movie is notorious! It even got a 2/10 review!! Norm, the main character, tries to protect his homeland. The arctic. But Norm...BOY There's SO MANY LEVELS OF WRONG WHEN IT COMES TO HIM. Like the number 1 problem that makes me cringe is his dance. He twerks. O_O. Speechless. ABSOLUTE SPEECHLESS! There's a scene where he has a mp3 player and FREAKING SHAKES HIS BUTT IN FRONT OF THE SCREEN!!! NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT!!! HE CALLS IT, THE FREAKING "ARTIC SHAKE!!! HE ALSO TWERKED IN ONCE SCENE WERE NORM WAS DANCING IN FRONT OF THESE ANIMALS!!! Clearly LionsGate was high when they made those scenes. Some people like his butt shake, but I digress. THIS IS THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE BY MAN KIND!!!!!
marshmallowslayer "Norm of the North" to me looked like a nice, fun family movie, but when I watched it, it was full of total garbage. If I had to, I wouldn't even give it a rating. It was so bad. The lemmings (rip-offs of minions) are so annoying, they pee everywhere and are very disgusting. The movie was poorly animated and very boring. This movie has some gay jokes, which aren't appropriate for a pg film.
