User blog:Owenguy101/Owe's Reviews Epi 2

I wanted to do this next week just to make the reviews a weekly series but I've been wanting to do this review. On my last one I said I would do a TV show but I've decided to do an animated film for this one. Also I plan to put these on a different page rather than these blog posts just so it doesn't get repetitive. Anyway, here's my review on the animated movie Ferngully: the Last Rainforest, complete with the cool title card.



I had to watch this movie in my biology class at school since it had the topics for what we were learning. However, we just finished watching Sleepy Hollow in my English class so seeing this movie wasn't so much help. The movie is about fairies in a rainforest and it's got a good environmental theme in it. While I support protecting the environment, this movie does a good job but the problem is that it's a little annoying. For starters, the characters are a little bland and aren't that interesting. Crysta (who I'm trying to swat in the picture) is the main character in the film but she isn't really that interesting. She looks like Princess Jasmine in fairy form. For the other characters, watch the movie to find out about them but one thing I'll mention is that Robin Willains and Tim Curry are in it with Robin Willaims playing a bat called Batty and Tim Curry playing the main villain named Hexxus who's basically a smoke cloud. (Pretty bland eh?) What really turned me off from this movie were the songs. For starters, I hate G-rated musical films unless they're Disney because they're not interesting and a little silly and strange. Plus, some of the songs in this film are pop songs which I really hate. The story is pretty weak too. It just didn't seem interesting compaired to other animated films I've seen. I don't actually have much to say for this film. While I liked the environmental theme, I didn't like the rest of it. However, it's not horrible or perfect. It's basically an average film. It still got some good reviews and it even had stuff that James Cameron's Avatar later used. It even got a direct to video sequel which like others wasn't really that good. Anyway, I still think this is worth a look but it's kind of boring and forgettable. It's mostly for kids and since I'm a teenager, that's probably why I didn't like. Still, if you haven't seen it, check it out and give your opinion on it.

My rating: 5 out of 10 stars.
