Review of Brave (2012) by Dave S — 11 May 2014
In terms of Disney/Pixar stuff, Brave is kinda second rate. First of all, it seems to be springboarding off the success of The Hunger Games (eg, a young female hero who uses a bow and arrow); I'm more used to other movies trying to use Disney/Pixar ideas.
The more entertaining a movie is, the more I can forgive a lack of innovation. Brave ends up middle-of-the-road in that respect. Most of Brave's storyline feels pretty tired and overdone. While the ensuing chaos has a unique bend to it, it doesn't feel used to its full potential. A big pot of ideas halfway cooked.
As a way to burn an hour and a half, Brave is fine. But it's been eclipsed before, and honestly, it's been eclipsed since.
