Glad you clicked in, shows you are not an animation as great film snob. I'll cut the BS.
Winner! Winner! Chicken dinner!!!
Better than the incredibles II , to stick within the animation field , but this film stands on it's own in quality, yet accomplishes it's goals in highly inventive ways. Much like deadpool II, you never know what's coming. Very unlike some other superhero movies.
As a matter of fact this story is a fish out of water tale more than a tale of super deeds, yet super deeds are done in the end. I hope that doesn't spoil the superhero ending for anyone. This film does hit all the superhero bases, save for superhero women with an aversion to clothes.
I would suggest attending a 3d showing, I didn't. the film has a lot of distinctive visuals, with a few scenes where the central figures are in focus, but the rest looks like three D without the glasses. It distracted me, trying to figure if it was a cheap conversion to 2d, or a deliberate effect, for the film is very inventive in it's visuals, comic book style, where innovation is prized.
I know most are converted into 3D from 2D, but a few scenes look to be the other way around. Might be contrived as a visual puzzle, it's got me thinking .
So to sum up, great wit, up there with the best cartoons, with inventiveness to set this apart from the crowd. Could be a classic, it is certainly a stand out if you are looking for this type of entertainment.
I would advise to see it before it gets blown off the screen by the holiday product. Between this and aquaman, which i was planning on seeing, this is the one to see this weekend.
Follow Ups:
I don't want to sound too snobbish, but cartoons are for kids, typically on Saturday mornings, (much like Trix), whereas animated movies are for everyone.
My two cents worth anyway!
Thanks for the tip though, I might want to go and see that one.
(I really like Batman, although the current run of live action Batman movies leave much to be desired.)
You are correct, it does sound a bit snobbish, too fine a distinction for my tastes, but if it matters to some, i'm ok with that. Some people spend time with a scale model railroad, others enjoy playing with toy trains. I own a bunch of little toy slot cars, once in a while you run across a guy who insists on the label scale model car racing . I guess they require status when they play with toys.
I once went to a model railroad club's open house, where these two worlds collided. Two trains accidentally hit at an intersection, and I was treated to a very insistent discussion about the importance of schedules in scale model railroading, verses just putting your train on the track and screwing around. They discussed the point heatedly at some length, I was so happy to have witnessed it.
I went with cartoon as an identifier because it is easier to type. If I were the quarrelsome type, I might drag the great short film popeye meets sinbad into a discussion of identity , but i'm a lover man.
...I've seen trailers and reviews for new animated "Spider-Man: into the the spiderverse", reviews have been quite good. Wasn't aware of a new animated Batman.
