I didn't think it was very well done, but I couldn't help but enjoy it, so I don't regret seeing it, and that's all I can ask for!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901639281043602191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076471470585210140.post-77436706476335584972013-07-16T21:18:15.173-04:002013-07-16T21:18:15.173-04:00This one was really cute.

Sure the whole armor costume on Isabelle was over-the-top shiny but I didn't think this movie took itself too seriously. It was like it didn't mind poking fun at itself and that was nice.<br /><br />Glad you liked it alright also, Sarah.

If they wanted to make it look like just a story, any kind of animation except something that says "video game" would have been way better. Mirror Mirror used the same idea, but more creatively and it worked pretty well.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901639281043602191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076471470585210140.post-45204894418113681442013-06-25T19:19:15.315-04:002013-06-25T19:19:15.315-04:00I thought Jack struck a good balance, myself. Did...I thought <i>Jack</i> struck a good balance, myself. Didn't take itself too seriously, like <i>SW and The Huntsman</i>, wasn't campily laughing behind its hand like <i>Mirror, Mirror</i>. Just merrily told a story with a smile on its face and a song in its heart.<br /><br />And I think the parts at the beginning are meant to look like a computer game to emphasize that the kids believe this is just a story, not history.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.com
