Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2012 film Rise of the Guardians.
Story
A fun twist on the reluctant hero story with a better lineup than the Avengers. The story is fresh while still using standard superhero tropes. The worldbuilding is amazing.
Score: 1
Characters
Each of the characters had unique feel and character motivations. The actors did a great job, really throwing themselves into it. Even with a larger cast there was a lot of character development for all of them except Sandy.
Score: 1
Dialogue
Very quippy, funny, and isn’t afraid of being serious at the same time.
Score: 1
Visuals and Music
The animation has aged fairly well, there are some lighting issues and a few less smooth sections but it’s still very pretty.
The music is phenomenal and worth listening to if you ever need to get pumped up.
Score: 1
Fun
I saw this in theatres and loved it. This was the kids’ first time and they were glued to the screen. Everyone had a great time.
Score: 1
Overall
A classic animated film that has more heart and goes way harder than it needed to. The acting, writing, and music make this a family favourite and an all around fun movie.
Final Score: 5 Stars out of 5*
*A 5 star review doesn’t mean the movie was perfect nor that it is perfect for everyone but it is a movie I believe is as close to perfect as possible.
