Review of The Book of Life (2014) by Gabriel H — 26 Jan 2015

77% Mexican Day of The Dead Roots have finally been explored. The Book Of Life is a story that will very much satisfy children and kind of entertain adults. The style of this animation is brilliant and something we have never seen before, as it's visuals are out of this world.

The story though, in the beginning it was great, but as the film went along kind of just dropped as there was too much of that Hollywood Action that for some reason most animated films need. If they had just stayed with the slow paced great romance type of film, this would've been one of the best films of the year.

Overall, this film is a treat for families, as in the Halloween weekend there isn't much too see other than the mediocre Horror Films.
