An Exercise In Nonsense
I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
I just saw a movie today! What did I see? Remember! Remember! Oh! I saw Finding Dory today! I liked it, but not as much as Finding Nemo because Dory didn't always remember she was lost or why which made her story less interesting and the ending climax seemed forced. It does have laughs and heart touching scenes, but Finding Nemo had more of both and stronger supporting characters. Oh, I saw Finding Dory today. I liked it, but not loved it. The original is still my favorite Pixar cartoon. That was a more exciting story...wait, what was I talking about?
(See the title? I'm funny)Finding Dory is a well made and entertaining film, but it holds no substance. Characters were unmemorable and the story was both generic and cliche. Although, the animation and sound design is amazing. This film had no real purpose to exist, besides Ellen 'The Generous' DeGeneres keep joking about a Finding Nemo sequel to Pixar like a 13 year old child saying 'Do you know de wey?" in a Discord server.5/10. Not bad, but not great.
This was a very Forgettable movie of a cute forgetful lil fish and I am disapointed that it carries the legendary Pixar label (which we have come to expect absolute excellence from). Tries to add ADHD / short memory as a theme but this also fails miserably. Kids will love the graphics. This is basically a sort of an unoriginal pseudo sequel to "Finding Nemo"... The storyline is just too ordinary. This was obviously made for the box office, the animation is good, but there is NO STORY here. It is well marketed hence it made this much money. It doesnt compare to classics like Kubo, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo. After this one watch, Im thinking of donating my DVD copy to a local library, it is not worth keeping or rewatching.
Am i just that easy to please these days, or did i just gave up on the first page of the reviews? I think i was a bit of both.I'm not gonna do a long review. As a 40 year adult i enjoyed this a lot. It was not as good as finding Nemo, but i had a smile on my face for almost the whole film.For that reason alone i can't understand the bad critics. I don't do a lot of reviews, but i thought this film didn't deserve that much trashtalk. If you liked finding Nemo and didn't anticipate for a sequel, and you just take it with a light heart, you'll enjoy this one a lot. Don't listen to the negative reviews here. Go and see for yourself.
