Fantastic Mr. Fox Audience Reviews

Ehirerapp Waste of time
Steineded How sad is this?
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Craigelink Where to start? This movie might have been groundbreaking animation wise if it had come out 15yrs earlier. Beyond that, even the high profile celebs doing the voices can't save it. My daughter (8) was confused and bored the entire way through, as was I. Who is this aimed at? Its boring for kids and boring for adults. The script is montone and boring. Roald dahl's story has been crucified to make way for what can only be described as "american hipster" garbage. I can't believe this has such high reviews, i really can't. I can only assume they are paid.
invisibleunicornninja I watched this movie when I was younger. All I can remember is being bored.
Carlos André Animation (2/2): The animation is fantastic, at the same time it can be awkward (in a good way) and extremely full of details. At this point the movie lives up to the style of stop motion animation masterfully.Soundtrack (2/2): The track is great, each song fits perfectly into their respective scene.Acting/Direction (1.5 / 2): All the voice actors are OK, there isn't much to point out here, they neither hurt nor make the movie extraordinary. Wes Anderson's direction is interesting, with a peculiar filming style, with one or another scene coming out of the status quo. A good direction, of a good director.History (0,5 / 2): From the beginning the film try to present us with a very basic story, this is certainly not a problem, even with other animations already showing us that it is possible to do something aimed at children but adults can also watch and perceive small hidden elements behind the story. See Toy Story 3, Inside Out and etc. But even the simple "Fantastic Mr. Fox" seems to fail to do, some points take you out of the story (ex: If from the beginning he was good at digging, why was not his first plan already?). Perhaps a small positive point here is the sense of adventure, which is present and can entertain children.Comedy (0/2): Here is probably where the movie lost me. After all, what's the point of seeing a comedy that isn't funny? And I don't say that because no scene made me cry with laughter, I say this because I didn't find any scenes if you want funny, the movie fails miserably in this matter, definitely this is not a funny movie.6/10
MitchtheMitchMitch I am finishing up reviewing every Wes Anderson film and this is one of the easiest 10/10 ratings I ever had to give.Fantastic Mr. Fox is a perfect example of Wes Anderson's fun loving, darkly comedic style. This film is a beauty to look at, each character and setting is beautifully lit and presented in a perfect frame. It really goes along with the source material that Roald Dahl created years ago.The comedy which is something that Wes Anderson excels at it at top notch, I laugh at every single joke, whether it be supported by the quick whip pans or smash zooms or just great delivery of dialogue, I am on the floor laughing. The acting is also a great element in this film, George Clooney and Meryl Streep shine as the Fox mother and father, you feel they are real, even though it is an animation.Speaking of Animation, this films stop motion is revolutionary. It is perfect, it also is the perfect kind of medium for Wes Anderson's tightly constructed atheistic. The movements are funny and alive, and the way they create these worlds feel large but, also comfy and homey.All these things are great but, what stands out is Wes Anderson's ability to bring heart and a message into the film. It talks about growing up, making your family proud, and trying to find your own way. The film will touch everyone from age 1 to 100.An amazing masterpiece 10/10 and 5/5.
