Review of Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) by Jonawe — 23 Nov 2016

Quite boring: lame story & characters. horrible voicecast. too much vfx, the lovely stopmotion is covered and burried under computer visuals. plotholes deep and wide... most of the time the audience will ask, why is he/she doing this and that, characters motivation are mostly unclear or strikingly hold up in uninspired dialogues, trying to cover the missing character development.

..which goes to zero! Maybe this movie is o.k. for the target audience... 2 points for the time-consuming set-design. designideas and setting could be a good videogame! In this kind of media, the story do not count that much.
