really? I must be the only one who enjoyed it

I'm not really a sci-fi fan, but the first 2,5 or so hours weren't bad, but that last half an hour ruined it for me.

Nope. I enjoyed it, but the cinema's audio let us down. Couldn't make out half the dialogue, and the masterpiece of a soundtrack was constantly distorted. 

 

Really need to watch it on the TV at home now. With MY sound.

My wife is big on bollywood. We mostly just stream off Putlocker instead of downloading these days. So one night I meet her halfway on this title

Its a remake of nolan's momento.

One of the few titles without any dance scenes with hot indian girls I actually enjoyed.

Thanks to load shedding last night I got to watch Big Hero 6 - DVD on laptop - and I'm sure I'll be watching it a few more times with the kids once it arrives on DSTV. I missed some of the subtle humour (only adults get) that you'd normally associate with animated movies, or maybe it was that I was so tired I never really noticed.

 

Compared to other recent animations I've watched, this one was a little disappointing. Maybe it will change after I've seen it a few times.

The kids have a movie day at school on Friday and they will be watching it again.

Asterix, Tintin and those A5 army comics were my poison growing up

Asterix & Obelix insert in the Sunday Times magazine with Lucky Luke at the back :clap:

It's actually a great movie. It has a real nice story and a real 'Japanese/manga' feel. The characters are well developed. Pay attention to Fred, really nicely done, although not a university scholar, very intelligent for the 'doper'. Hiro Hamada, the main character, also, seriously well thought out.

 

This movie has inspirations in Japanese manga as I mentioned, so you might find it a very much not like a Disney or Dreamworks type animation, however, this is a great movie, you should've seen it on the big screen, it was awesome. One of the only animation movies, other than Toy Story and Robots, which i can watch over.

Big Hero 6 was okay I guess. 

Personally, besides lego movie I don't think there's been anything praiseworthy since this

The attention to detail of the arcade machines, plugs, cables, surge-protector and more made Wreck-it Ralph such a cool animation. I guess the story is very similar to other movies, but the way it was presented was really cool.

 

Bad Guy affirmation: "I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be then me."

 

 

My kids are currently hooked on this animation:
