King of racing games gets better(revised edition)

Wed, 23 Mar 2005 02:00:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - In my opinion, the Gran Turismo series has always been the cream of the crop of racing games, and the series has just gotten better with the fourth installment. Of course your enjoyment of this game probably depends on how much you enjoyed Gran Turismo...

These chickens have teeth

Wed, 21 Mar 2001 21:18:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - Okay. So maybe Chicken Run just wasn't the piece of animation genius I was hoping for to win me over in an age when Disney movies had become increasingly formulaic, uninspiring, and downright dull. Maybe having seen and loved the Wallace and Gromit...

The jungle is swinging

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 21:28:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - Reeling from the failure of The Sword in the Stone, Disney badly needed another animation extravaganza. They got it in the form of The Jungle Book, another underrated gem. Ditching the stylized look and dramatic depth of 101 Dalmatians, they made...

Disney's most enduring animated movie

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 03:32:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - While I realize there are much better Disney masterpieces, Disney's Lady and the Tramp easily ranks third in my list of favorite Disney movies, right below Bambi and The Fox and the Hound. But if you asked me which Disney movie I admire the most, I would...

One of Disney's more brilliant movies

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 03:23:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - What a delightful classic! It's right up there with The Jungle Book. If there's any classic Disney movie that's the least likely to be forgotten because of the modern Disney formula takeover(hack! ptooie), this movie would be it. Of course, part of that...

Love that chicken. . .and a few other things

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 23:06:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - I don't claim to be a food connoisseur. I don't love any one particular restaurant or fast food restaurants in general. I couldn't tell you if Burger King was better than McDonald's or not. But I do know what good food tastes like, and I think Popeye's...

Not bad for a Disney wannabe

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 03:57:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - Calling this animated movie great is a bit of a stretch, but so is calling it a bad animated movie. I've seen the bad movies, and this is far from it. But as is the case with many animated movies, The Swan Princess looks and acts like a Disney wannabe,...

Somebody should shut these characters up

Mon, 1 Jan 2001 03:54:00 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - Oh boy. Let's face it. Mary Poppins this certainly isn't. While Disney is often very good at making animated movies, I don't remember the last time they made a great live action movie. And I'm not sure what they were thinking when they made this movie...

Disney the way it should be done

Mon, 25 Dec 2000 01:05:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - This movie might not be high on everybody's list. All the big movies seem to be getting all of the attention. While it may not have the fancy animation of the modern movies, this is Disney the way I remembered it as a kid. For me, classics came first,...

Unsurpassed

Sun, 24 Dec 2000 00:05:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - Ages before animated movies became overstuffed, overblown, overrated, and overbudgeted affairs, a trend which The Emperor's New Groove thankfully reversed, at least momentarily, movies like this one were being made all the time. They were quiet and...

Sensibilities and stupid villains almost destroy this movie

Sat, 23 Dec 2000 19:21:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - Before Don Bluth did the visually superb but narratively flat Titan A.E., he did this charming "little" animated movie. While Titan A.E. had more amazing animation and was geared more towards older kids, Anastasia was more enjoyable and...

One of the best cartoons I've seen in a looong time

Fri, 22 Dec 2000 02:35:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - I consider myself to be a Disney lover. A strong Disney lover. But as a Disney lover, I also find myself to be very critical of Disney, especially of their movies since The Little Mermaid. I don't whoop for joy at every new movie and call it great. More...

Aristocats lite

Sun, 17 Dec 2000 04:43:07 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - Actually, this movie has very little in common with Disney's Aristocats other than the fact that both movies take place around Paris and both movies involve a pretty female cat trying to find her way home. Other than those two items, please don't mistake...

Decades old, and it's still impressive

Thu, 14 Dec 2000 05:27:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - Disney's version of the classic fairy tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is still a masterfully crafted marvel, even after all these decades. It is so good that this movie's timeless famous line is still remembered and loved by kids and animation fans...

Dangerously painful cartoon. Rent at your own risk.

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 00:12:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - I still believe Pokemon the First Movie to be the worst animated movie ever created in the history of animation. Yet for some strange reason, whenever I think "worst animated movie", this one keeps popping up in my head and threatens to take...

Well, I've seen worse

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 02:41:15 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - During the 80s, many of the cartoons created during that decade got transferred over to the big screen and made into movies. None of the efforts have been pretty good. In fact, some were downright pathetic. This is one of those movies I had the...

This fighter is lame

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 01:49:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - (Note. This review has been slightly edited. It's score has been adjusted to reflect my new system.)

Stupid anime syndrome strikes again. Many people vividly remember the live action version of Street Fighter and the bitter aftertaste it left...

Brilliant animation

Sun, 3 Dec 2000 21:45:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - Oddly enough, this movie didn't become one of my top favorites. I still prefer modesty to technical wizardry. But as animated movies go, Disney's Beauty and the Beast is nothing but pure brilliance, both on the animation level and on the script level. It...

This movie talks too much

Sat, 2 Dec 2000 21:04:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - There's a strange thing about Disney. They have the remarkable ability to make utter garbage seem good. Even their worst movies still look better than some obscure family title from some no-name company, no matter how good that title may be. The Sword in...

Neither hip nor cool

Tue, 28 Nov 2000 14:34:45 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - I watched Akira back when I was on a big anime kick and thought all anime movies were great, cool, and fun simply because they were dark, mature, adult, and super violent. Big mistake! Shows you what I knew back then. First off, not all anime movies that...

Nice for kids but as substantial as popcorn

Tue, 28 Nov 2000 02:52:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - The wonderful thing about Tiggers is Tiggers are wonderful things. But do they make wonderful movies? Just like A Goofy Movie before it, The Tigger Movie is another one of Disney's attempts to make a low brow, nice and easy movie for the kids. Of course...

Some things should just stay on television

Sun, 26 Nov 2000 03:51:35 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - I have no idea why I'm reviewing this monstrosity long after many unfortunate parents watched the movie and purchased the video. Yet, I promised myself I would review every single animated movie I've ever seen, so here I go.

Now before I...

Fun Disney movie

Thu, 23 Nov 2000 04:32:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - Antz vs A Bug's Life. I really couldn't give a flying flip which movie was better for adults. To tell you the truth, I thought Antz went nowhere while A Bug's Life had a sense of direction. The dull, brown, realistic world of Antz didn't do anything for...

What is THIS supposed to be?

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 15:28:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - I'm really tempted to give this movie only two stars, but I can't because I'm still not quite sure if it was supposed to be a real movie. If it was, then it failed miserably. But if it wasn't, then it did a good job poking fun at itself. So is it funny,...

WFRR wannabe

Mon, 13 Nov 2000 18:43:40 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author FHfan - I believe this movie, if you can call it that, has already been made. It was called Who Framed Roger Rabbit, a much more superior and infinitely funnier film. Where Who Framed Roger Rabbit was alive, smart, and hip, Space Jam was dull, definitely...
