Review of The Angry Birds Movie (2016) by S S — 10 Jul 2016

First of all, let me say the only good thing in this film: stereoscopic effects. Really well done, I must admit. The rest? Pure garbage. Arriving too late to show relevance, because the period of the Angry Birds mania already finished, this film has no originality and its characters are shallow stereotypes, shallower than a saucer.

If you are over 5 years old or You has already seen at least 5 animations and anime in your life, then you've seen this film. Starting with the very cliché protagonist hero, Red: a boy who is rejected by his entire community (wow, that original thing, my goodness!) and that is orphaned (Harry Potter, Naruto, Luke Skywalker, Bruce Wayne), and plays the hero who wants to save the society that mistreats and rejects him.

Really? Where is the logic in that? No real human being - (read: no believable character) would care to help a group of individuals or a society that only mistreats you. It makes no sense at all. "Friends" of the protagonist follow him just as script convenience, nothing more than that, because there is no real reason for them being there.

It all sounds forced. Not even funny this film is; the comedy is full of memes we've seen a million times and scatological jokes inappropriate for children. But if the film is too dull for youth and adults and inappropriate for children too, it just shows the lack of focus of this film.

A waste of time. The curse of the games that become films continues. Be careful, Assassin's Creed!
