Puss In Boots Review

Puss In Boots finally has his own movie! And what a great lead character he was!



Puss In Boots is a prequel of Shrek and it stars the sexy, charismatic Puss (Antonio Banderas) out on an adventure to find the magical beans and, subsequently, the golden goose. Together with him on this adventure are Kitty Softpaw (Salma Hayek) and Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis). Of course, with every hero, there's a villian. And for this movie, it's Jack and Jill fill those shoes. At the same, Jack wants to be a father!

First, the positives: This film is very funny and very cute. There's humour for everyone of any age and that's always great.

You care for the main character as well which is very important in films. Banderas does such a great job to bring out the character. I loved Puss in the Shrek films and he and Donkey were my favourite characters. Of course, what we've learned from Cars 2 is that you should never give the "clown" his own spin-off. And I am very glad they gave this movie to Puss. He's a great character and you would fall in love with him (especially if you are a cat-lover).

The relationship between Kitty Softpaws and Puss wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. I usually hate the romantic plots in movies but this was really sweet and believable.

The animation is (of course) amazing and beautiful. And this, being a Dreamworks film, has amazing 3D sequences. The animators did such a great job with Puss' fur and it looks so soft and realistic- amazing! The action scenes were great as well. The dance sequence between Puss and Kitty was very creative and very entertaining to watch as well.

Unfortunately, this suffers from what most Dreamworks film suffers from. It's entertaining but there's not much heart in their movies. Yes, they try with Puss' caregiver and Puss but it didn't work as well as I wanted. Furthermore, the relationship between Puss and Humpty wasn't very good, as well. And the main villian of this film was very weak and the film ran out of the steam before it ended. The climax of this movie was pretty ridiculous to be honest.

However, it's still an above average show and I liked it very much. It's very fun and exciting and I recommend it for the whole family.

The Three Musketeers (2011) Review

To be honest, I have no idea what the storyline for the original Three Musketeers is. So, I can't judge if the storyline is congruent to the recent Musketeers movie. I've only watched one Musketeer movie (besides this) and it's the Disney version. You know...



I don't think this is the real storyline, right?

Anyway, the recent Three Musketeers is about a young lad by the name of D'Artagnan [thank you internet! Or I would have never remembered his name] (Logan Lerman) teams up with three "retired" Musketeers (Matthew MacFadyen, Luke Evans and Ray Stevenson)to defeat the evil Richlieu (Christoph Waltz), Buckingham (Orlando Bloom) and a sly lady called Milady (Milla Jovovich).



To be honest, you don't really need to know the plot because the story-telling in this movie is really horrible. And so was the acting. Everything was just too cartoon-ish. The green screen was really obivious so points are lost for visual effects. Although, in it's defence, some visuals are pretty enough to enjoy.

I have heard many horrible things about this movie. So, I went into the theatres with really low expectations. When I came out of the movie, I thought that it was pretty decent. The movie did what it was meant to do: To be a fun show. And I, honestly, had fun in this movie. Although I didn't laugh at most of the jokes, it didn't make me cringe and I just went with the flow. The movie's pretty dumb as well but it's not dumb to the point that it's annoying. It's hard to explain, but I enjoyed the goofiness of The Three Musketeers.

It's a passable movie though. However, I didn't think it was as bad as everyone claims it is.

And is it me or does some part of the soundtrack sound very familiar?
