Rise of the Guardians (2012)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Truly amazing animated adventure, that takes the beloved iconic characters and puts a new spin on them and almost turns them into superheroes(in a good way)! The animation is very good and character designs are great, voice cast is also top notch. The story is full of wonder and magic and is quite moving. One of the movies that grownups can enjoy as much as the children, if not even more. Very cool premise turned into a great movie!

Huhu,IMDb doesn't allow me to writing Vietnamess and my Englich is terrible. A Monday night, I saw the film in the Disney channel and I was interested it. Nice image (especially is Jack Frost, ohhh!!), storyline is good, interesting, many cute characters is Sandy, Jamie. But it doesn't intense, plot twist faded.

Rise of the Guardians (2012): Dir: Peter Ramsey / Voices: Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman, Isla Fisher, Jude Law: Corrupt holiday family animated candy coated crap with a title that references the promise of goodness emerging from each holiday. It is like a holiday version of The Avengers only instead of the Hulk, Thor and Captain America we have Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. The problem is that the super heroes are intended for action and a certain amount of violence but these holiday theme characters are faulted with unlikely qualities. We have Santa Claus brandishing swords. We have a feisty Easter Bunny with an Australian accent throwing boomerangs. We have the lady Tooth Fairy who protects the memories of teeth. Finally we have Jack Frost whom kids cannot see because they do not believe in him. The one interesting character is Frost who desires to learn where he came from. He is recruited to assist the other Guardians in battling the Boogeyman / Pitch Black. He creates nightmares and aims to make children not believe in the guardians. Director Peter Ramsey is backed with dazzling animation but the story is preposterous. The movie seems fitted for its action and violence and that seems to go against the theme of the characters. The cast would do better starring live in a better film as oppose to wasting their voices in this holiday farce. It just seems that the only guardians who should rise are the parents who should really demonstrate the good nature of these characters and not subject their children to this holiday rubbish. Score: 3 ½ / 10

Rise of the Guardians is the best movie that I ever watch. Hopefully this will become the best classic adventure animation movie, because it has makings for people like me and Children that was fun to watch it on holiday. This film will remain as the best movie for me, simply based on the fact that the makers seriously cared that they were making a film for people like me. The characters from the movie are all linked to traditions and mythology that still lives on in the minds of children everywhere including Cambodia because they only know Santa. The action is also handled well, and the color, the designs, and the voice casting are so awesome. The choices for the character of this movie were also really interesting: Easter bunny with boomerang throwing skill, Santa Claus that can fight, The Tooth Fairy that cannot use magic, The Sandman that cannot talk, and Jack Frost that don't have his memories at the beginning. They work so well. The story even felt original duty of each character, which is hard to do but you guy can make a movie by combine their legend together that is so awesome. This is just the best kind of film that I was looking for, sweet, simple, lovable, and a lot of adventure. The only thing that disappoints me was Tooth doesn't tell Jack how she feel about him. I hope Dream Works will decide to make a second movie.
