The Ant Bully Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Robert When I saw the movie coming up way back in 2006, I was excited to see it. Four years later, I now have.I'm very impressed by the realism that it has. I like the message they give.I know it was probably a children's movie, but I still feel that it was pushing it a bit. First, the stereotypical characters were a bit extreme. I mean, just look at the mom! And I never did crack up that much at all. Maybe once. I know, I know, you're 17, it won't be funny. Well the adult jokes weren't either. In fact, I wondered why they has made such a big deal when referring to the jokes.But all in all it was okay. I still think Bugs Life is way better, but it's not as bad as Antz was.
Hunky Stud Anyway, I saw this movie's trailer while I was watching another DVD. It looked really funny with the sound of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and some reference to Harry Potter. I thought that it might be similar to "Shrek" with lots of funny references to our daily lives. So I waited several weeks to finally check it out from my local library. I have to say that the trailer is totally not what this movie is all about.The story is not very funny, it is really intended for children. Even though it is watchable for adults, but you can save the time to watch some other good movies. I kept watching, hoping that they will show that funny moment which they showed in the trailer. It is a lie, what they showed in the trailer has nothing to do with this movie at all. I think that this is the first time that I have ever seen a trailer that doesn't have any scenes from the actual movie.The ants don't look adorable with their sharp angles. And here is another thing, why do those ants have blue eyes? Have you ever seen an ant with blue eyes in real life? Even ants have to be Caucasian now? And how often do you see evil cartoon characters with blue or green eyes in any animated movies? That is just wrong, what would those children think when they see blue eyed ants or any other animals? I surely hope that those animators will stop doing that in the future.
Michael O'Keefe Fun for kids of all ages. Well done with a message. Lucas Nickle(voiced by Zach Tyler Elsen)is a new kid in town in this computer-animated feature. Lucas has trouble making friends and is pretty well the butt of the neighborhood bully's jokes. He's really not having much fun and takes his aggression out on a large colony of ants. He stomps, buries and floods the six-legged critters. Zoc(voiced by Nicolas Cage),the "wizard ant", creates a concoction that shrinks Lucas to the size of...well, an insect. The leader of the Ant Council(voiced by Ricardo Montalban)and the Queen(voiced by Meryl Streep)will sentence Lucas for his crimes by making him live among them to see how difficult it is to be an ant. Put in charge of looking after him is Hova(voiced by Julia Roberts). Lucas finds compassion for the ant kingdom and helps them in a battle against Stan the Extermination Man(voiced by Paul Giamatti). Other voices you may or may not recognize: Bruce Campbell, Lily Tomlin, Larry Miller, Regina King and Cheri Oteri. THE ANT BULLY is produced by Tom Hanks and is written and directed by John A. Davis, who is responsible for the film JIMMY NUETRON.
MairegChernet The Ant Bully is not an excellent film. Nicolas Cage, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep and Paul Giamatti all renowned people who are either nominated for or won an academy award. Despite this talented cast, the film lacks substance. The Ant Bully is not a film you would sympathize with. You won't feel sorry for the characters, and for me that's a huge hole in the storyline, that leads me to suggesting that this movie is just a mediocre film. I even said to myself warner bros. is practicing making animated films and hasn't yet mastered it like Dreamworks and Disney have. An overall average movie with a couple of laughs.
