User blog:MattBoo 2/So, I just saw Epic in theaters...

LOOK OUT FOR DEM SPOILERS, THEY BE LURKING IN YOUR CLOSET LIKE A LLAMA:

It was pretty good, in my opinion. It had some things that aren't uncommon on CGI animated flicks these days, but hey, who said they're bad? The writing, plot, and even atmosphere IS pretty decent, but it's a bit in similarity to a certain something.

This thing looks like a Disney movie, and I think it would make more sense if it was. Here's what I mean...


 * Bright and rainbow-ish colors
 * Beautiful settings
 * A dark, evil, and slightly disturbing villain/antagonist
 * Decent and creative-controlled humor
 * Hmm, I know it's something, but what was it, now? Oh, yeah, right. MORE FLIPPIN' DEATHS!!!! (ex. Nod's bird, Queen Tara, etc.)

And, you know what's ironic? It's made by 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios, THE FREAKING CREATORS OF ICE AGE!!!!!! That's strange and ironic, because it looks like something out of Disney or even Pixar!

Eh, just because it's like something out of Disney doesn't mean it's not original and creative. Sure the movie was beautiful and dark, but sometimes, there's creative and worth watching humor in it too. I found the sequences with Ozzie (Mary and Bomba's three-legged dog) and Mub and Grub (a slug and a snail) pretty funny and entertaining.

Me and my mom thought it was pretty good and that it was worth our $26 and 100 minutes.

Also, good news for Bagel, NO ENVIRONMENTAL MESSAGES! Although I think I found one subliminally, at least it's not verbal. That counts for something, don't it, Bagel?

I'd say 7.5/10. Would get it on DVD.

P.S. I would NOT consider this the second "MattBoo Rants", but if you want, I could consider this as a "MattBoo Rants" extra. Oh! And I changed my profile icon. The old MattBoo sprite one was starting to irritate me.
