Review of Early Man (2018) by Ahmedaiman9999 — 14 Apr 2018

The major issue I have with Early Man is the humor; it's very frustrating to watch a Nick Park movie and find that it relies on potty humor and dull jokes, but I have to admit that some visual jokes were so creative and smart.

A lot of clever and imaginative ideas Nick Park has used in Early Man to present the Stone Age which helped to elevate the humor a little bit. The story isn't a new one but it's not a problem at all; it's too simple and offers many sweet and contemporary messages.

It's quiet surprising to see a movie nowadays uses its characters to convey some messages cleverly by merging these characters' arcs well with the story. Nick Park also presented a very good background for the cavemen in the first act of the movie which is - unfortunately - the shortest one.

The second act is undoubtedly the weakest part of the movie; it was annoyingly fast paced, it came too early in this movie and didn't offer too much to rich the characters nor the setting of the Bronze Age, it also became very slow at its end and was had most of the silly and stupid jokes.

The voice acting in Early Man is good specially from Tom Hiddleston who voiced the villain Lord Nooth and I also enjoyed Eddie Redmayne's voice and I found it very fresh to animated movies.
