Review of Rise of the Guardians (2012) by Fred V — 18 May 2013
A vibrant movie stuffed to the brim with bright colours and fluorescent characters. Rise of the Guardians just about does it for me as a form of light family movie entertainment. This movie offers a whole new world of seasonal cheer revolving around the life and choices of a rather youthful version of Jack Frost.
It is a harmless enough storyline with a lack of childlike humour that is usually present in this sort of movie. I particularly enjoyed the original representation of the guardians in this movie, notably Russian Santa and the silent Sandman but I felt Jack Frost was lacking in a personality and Pitch was simply not evil enough or as well-defined as he should'be been.
I would say that this movie is nowhere near a 'must-see' but as I have previously stated it is pretty harmless and quite enjoyable if you are in the mood and your children are young enough.
