Rating: 3.75/5. Great fun and death by cuteness. Comedy and heart lands perfectly but drama falls short of pixar classics. Characters also suffer from sequel-itis and are underdeveloped.
This movie is painfully overrated and overhyped. Now don't get me wrong it's a great movie and if you don't see it what do you live for but it's just not a Toy Story 3. So here we go….
The good. The jokes are great. The build up the payoff all good. You’ll be laughing a lot. I needed tissues.
The pace is really fast and it's a lot of excitement so it's also a fun adventure. There’s a lot well executed “chase” scenes which are fun.
The characters are really cute. So there’s that.
The bad. The characters are fun but for a pixar film they were really underdeveloped. Like for example the octopus, he mentions that he is scared of the ocean because of the bad memories he had there. Its his main motivation and fear. But we never get to know what happened that caused him so much trauma. Dory showed no arch besides i nnneeeedddd to find my paaaarents the whole movie. Marlin and Nemo echo a similar Ddddoooooorrrrryyyy. We don’t get much background or info on new characters and the old characters are terribly flat.
The aforementioned tissues also did not dry any tears of sadness. For the studio that gave us Up, the drama really fell flat. The scenes were either suddenly too intense and too unexpected or too long and dragged out. There was one scene that tagged my heart a tad. But that’s it.
Well, despite all its flaws Finding Dory is a pixar movie and it brings its standard quality of family fun. But if this is how they handle sequels we are about to have the biggest let down in history. (Incredibles 2 cmon man)
