I liked the movie but it was a disappointment. After they lost the female director - it all went downhill.

as for me, I kind of expected a different twist and lots of games...
it was not so good. But nonetheless, it made me happy ^^~

sorry, but i will still be giving this a big pass.. as its a rework of brave-heart, though i enjoy brave-heart as a standalone movie its so far from accurate its not even funny so another studios version ..as i say i will avoid it sorry

[Fauxreal]

It wasn't really a rework of Braveheart. Where did you read that?

Most motherless Disney characters didn't have mothers in the original fairy tales.

I only got to watch half of it... D:
I loved that Craig Ferguson was a voice actor~

I have yet to really see it, I hope to see it, but I doubt it will trump my love for tangled. :x

[termyte]

i have it on hold at my library branch. because i didn't have time to go see it in the theater.

[Glitter]

I had serious plans to see it, but never got around to it, the same thing happened with Wreck-It Ralph; unless I really wanted to go see something like I did when Tangled came out, I usually end up having second thoughts and not going.

I have to wonder about this statement too. The movie has nothing to do with William Wallace or even the English as far as I can tell.

I watched it last night for the first time. I enjoyed it. It was pretty to watch and I liked how it played out early on, which wasn't entirely what I was expecting. I was less keen on the ending since I had pretty much seen it coming early on and it was typically "Disney." It did help that I read the basic story from the colouring book beforehand though. ;)

I do know about the lack of Disney moms. We looked at that in class in second year pop culture English ;). It's not necessarily true that Disney moms in fairy tales weren't there to begin with. The Little Mermaid for example, was radically changed from it's original story line, almost to the point where you can pretty much reverse everything that was said and happened and have it be more accurate. Ariel, who's name was never mentioned, had a dad, yes, but he hardly did anything and is really just mentioned in passing. It was her grandmother that has all the screen time.

It's also entirely possibly that fairy tales Disney used didn't have dad's either ;), but I think the absent mom thing was how they justified needing Prince Charming to show up, since Dad is usually an idiot.

I think Brave showed how Disney is gaining back some nerve after several years of being soft. I think they got really chewed out for being too violent after The Lion King so things have been pretty soft up until the more recent films, starting with Pirates of the Caribbean I've noticed.

I got to finish watching it...the end made me cry. ><
It was a good movie, and I did see the end coming, but I was still at the edge of my seat.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I got a bit teary too, I have to admit that. Though I wish Mordu had more of a role to play, or just more screen time. I think that's what disappointed me about the film (not sure if I spelled his name right. Guessing based on what I heard).

[Epic Rave Monster]

I don't like predictable films.. And the artwork kills it for me.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Predictable depends on what people have seen before, to a point.

Not a fan of the animation style?

[Epic Rave Monster]

I think it's the .. poofy hair.

Saw it and really enjoyed it for sure. The Celtic background for it certainly allowed for some interesting lore and story.
