Review of Norm of the North (2016) by Greatgatsby — 22 Jan 2017
Norm of the North is a film made for young children, that looks like it was written, produced, and animated by young children. The Film had no understandable flow, and lacks even one moment of thought provoking action.
The film as a whole is fairly unfunny, though has moments of comical relief that kind of surprised me. I actually really like the character of Norm, who I felt had the best arc throughout and the best voice work, and his companions, the most untelligable characters in this film, easily offer the most laughs.
The plot, however, makes no sense and most of the film tries to feel like it lives in the 21st Century, but is reduced to childish jokes. And in comparison to other animated offers of the year such as Zootopia, Kubo and the Two Strings, and even the slightly overrated The Secret Life of Pets, Norm of the North lacks any depth or even principles in its animation design.
In grading the film as it was meant to be presented, a children's film, it works perfect for young kids and is sure to keep them entertained. But to anyone who is over the age of about 9, this is just a bad movie.
My 3/10 comes from the fact I really enjoyed the character of Norm and his companions the lemmings made he laugh.
