User Review

Great movie, quit bashing it!!!

Rating: 10/10


I can't understand what everyone is fussing about this film for. I saw
it on the IMAX 3D and I honestly thought it was hilarious. I caught
myself laughing out loud on many occasions. Seriously, this film is not
"violent" by any means. To me, I really felt relieved to see some humor
and scenes similar to the old Looney Tunes cartoons that used to be
considered great, but are now considered evil and horrible.

I took my 4 year old daughter to see this movie as well, and she
absolutely loved it. I have no reservations about any of the content in
this movie, and I would highly recommend it to anyone with children.
Any of the "adult" humor was tastefully done and, honestly how many
small kids are gonna pick up it? The animation was well done, the cast
was great, and there were some very creative action scenes in this
movie. I wish all of these politically correct hypocrites would stop
trying to psychoanalyze every damn film that comes out and bash it into
the ground! Bottom line: This movie is outstanding, and it is
incredibly funny!!!! GO SEE IT!
