kinds of people who dont like this movie.


After reading some of these posts I have come to a conclusion on who doesn't like this movie. The first group is people who have no soul.if you can watch the begining of this movie and not feel anything you must be souless. The second group is cat people. I hear people complaining about the dogs in the movie and the only ones that hate dogs are cat people. This makes sense and ties in the first group seeing how cats are soulless too. Just a bunch of soulless cat people, probably the same group that sits and laughs at the end of marley and me.

The first 20 minutes are wonderful... unfortunately, the film goes on for an additional 70, mostly devolving into standard cartoon fare, doing a miserable job weaving the content of the opening into the rest of the film.

The next sentence is true. The previous sentence is false.

The whole movie was excellent. I guess it didn't possess enough explosions and stupidity.

Oh wow, good response, man.

Not enough explosions and stupidity? Did you see the third act of this film?

I rarely post and I have yet to see this movie. Still, I had to respond to your STUPID and inflammatory post. There are many reasons to dislike a movie, and there was no reason for you to assume that the reason was a lack of "explosions and stupidity." If I missed something, care to quote here the original poster implied anything about explosions and stupidity? Or are you projecting yourself?

Grow up and THINK ABOUT IT.

lol dumbest thing I've ever read. Funny thing is, I clicked on this thread thinking that I'd end up commenting on the OP. Thanks for the laugh.

This movie did not have soul. It had heavy handed attempted to tug at heart strings crowbar'd into a quite dull and confused kids movie.

If you were impressed, that's fine, doesn't mean people who don't like it lack soul or like cats.

Lol.I am the biggest dog person. I have three and found three and gave them away to suitable owners.

I love this movie, but I like cats too.

How do you "weave" a 90 minute story into a 5-minute Saturday morning Nickolodeon cartoon?

Its an animated family film, with a message. Return to your BlowThemUpGame kiddo ;)

reply

'Animated family films with a message' don't have to be 'heavy handed.' Look at My Neighbor Totoro, which is ten times the film Up is... partly because it expresses its message and emotions organically.

I'm not sure what you're getting at in addressing my quote. You're welcome to clarify it. :)

Huh? Your reply makes absolutely no sense in terms of logic, context or even facts. First, who wrote anything about "5-minute Saturday morning Nickolodeon cartoons"??? The original message was about "standard cartoon fare," so don't impose your false limitations to justify your point. The original post said nothing about 5 mins or Nickelodeon so he could have been referring to Bambi, The Simpsons, Family Guy, etc -- none of which are on Nickelodeon and all run much longer than 5 mins.

You also need to read carefully and think before posting. Where was anything about weaving a 90 mins story into a 5 min cartoon? What he wrote was almost the opposite. He complained that the movie attempted to weave the first excellent 20 mins into a 90 min movie -- and failed. Weaving small into big, get it? Your post somehow illogically changed it into weaving the big into something smaller.

The original post made perfect sense, even if one disagrees. Your reply, however, shows that you didn't even bother to read the post, much less understood it. Worse, you built an argument based on characterizations he never said, i.e. 5-minute, Saturday, etc. That's intellectual dishonesty,

i loved it. but i can see why people would not like this. i mean the flying dogs at the end were a bit too much even for me.

reply

I liked this film; but I liked the original Up (1976) better. This film was a remake.
