Movie Review of "Planes"

Dusty is a crop duster who wants to win a race around the world. Eventually he is trained by an ex-hero and makes quite a few friends along the way.


2 out of 5 stars

I expected this movie to be way better. I actually liked the commercials more than the movie itself. There is some good humor and great 3-D moments, but "Planes" is too much like the "Cars" movies, which made it very predictable. Unlike "Cars," it did not have any surprises.

This movie left out parts that could have been quite interesting, like when Dusty escapes the train or why he even wanted to race in the first place.

I think a young audience around four years old would like this movie, but "Planes" made me want Disney to try something more like the magical adventures "Hercules" or "Aladdin" instead of following the same old racing movie idea.


...and now you've seen the entire movie. At least, 3/4 of it!

Do you think Disney movies are getting too similar? What are your favorite kind of Disney movies?

MOVIE REVIEW : "THE CROODS"

Movie Review: "The Croods"

I went with my family to see "The Croods" and expected it to be just crude not funny. Boy was I wrong!



"The Croods" is the story of a cave man family that goes on a journey because the continents are drifting apart. They meet friends, Guy and Belt, who show them the way to go and create humor along the way.

This movie is very funny , so funny that I nearly fell out of my seat! It is also interesting, keeping you on the edge of your seat.

"The Croods" is colorful and imaginative. It's always fast paced and entertaining. I think it is best for kids 6-10 years old who like adventure and lots of humor.

Go see it. It's great!

If you have seen "The Croods" was it what you expected? If you want to see a little bit, here's a clip:
