I have to write a review about this one,seeing all the one star reviews.I think that in society,it takes all kinds.Our current cybersocial state displays this in all its glory.This is definitely not the typical super hero film.And maybe it does actually stretch PG-13 to the limit.But from a mature,adult standpoint,fantastic film incorporating multiple complex human issues into an entertaining comic book story.Any person who has ever read comics will understand that this was always the premise behind the superhero concept.There is no perfect person.We think we know what perfect is.We see it,feel it,just can't quite ever achieve it.This movie embraces that beautifully.On top of that,the music is great.Anyone that doesn't think so,doesn't know music or multiple musicians over a forty plus year span.The effects on this one are superb.Best displays of CGI I have ever seen.Great action and humor.
I could pick apart a thing or two that was meh,but given the epic before me,hardly worth the effort.
The only problem with the movie is that it was so damn intensely deep,I don't know if I want to watch it again.The fact that 80 percent of the films treachery was on animals is almost too much for me to take.Ive never hated the bad guy more than in this movie.My hat off to that portrayal.He did a great job being a POS.
The take away from this movie is that it makes you want to be a better person.Not a particular color or identity or species even.If you were born to stand upright on two legs,the story here is supposed to be thought provoking at the very least.
But not for kids,however I don't think that 13 is too young for a person to at least begin to be presented with the issue of being worthy of a soul.And as much of a bummer as that kind of thinking can be,you have it in this film in the most fun way it could possibly be.
