Save your money for something good and enjoyable

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

It is definitely an underrated animation. Okay, I agree, Disney is solely dominating the animation industry, especially at present. But this film is no masterpiece like that Disney makes yet not bad to ignore complete. Yes, there are flaws in it, but very acceptable as they're just minors. In the animations, the real world logics won't apply. So you should try to enjoy it than trying to find the errors.This film is targeted for children, but then anybody can watch it because it is a beautiful theme with some real laughs in it, only if you forget that you are an adult for a 90 minute. Technically the film quality matches with Disney, Pixer, Dreamworks and even the Sony animation. It is a fine achievement for an outside/new production house to come up with like this. I hope Reel FX would make more animations in the future and compete directly with these top companies.It was really a star studded cast. I did not know who were they all, but I identified them by their voices. As far as the story, too easy to predict, but somehow it managed to keep me glued to it with its entertaining contents. It is a time travel theme and a quite entertaining film made by the 'Horton Hears a Who' director.Some are saying it is anti-thanking giving film, but I think it is just a fun film. Although, it was kind of like 'Happy Feet', where a bunch of turkeys tries to loose their kind from the humans grip. But narrated differently, something like in the line of 'Penguins of Madagascar'. I don't think anybody can regret watching it, but then there are people with expectations, so it might fail at them. Overall, it was a decent film for sure if not great as other animations that came in the same year. Waiting for its sequel about 'mission turducken'.7/10

I was not expecting great things from this movie but I was pleasantly surprised. It was actually quite hilarious, lame but laugh out loud funny. The jokes were on point the whole way through and it was adult funny not just kid funny.Honestly if you can't relax and just enjoy a movie then give this one a miss and if you regularly use words like cinematography in your reviews then get over yourself nobody wants to hear your review as you shouldn't have watched this movie to begin with. Stop trying to drag ratings down for a harmless animated children's film. Back to the movie...Free Birds has all the same concepts as your typical feel-good movie but who's ever seen a movie about a Thanksgiving turkey. It's certainly a new one for me. And shout out to the baby turkeys, they were adorable. The whole way through I was rooting for the turkeys to succeed even though they're completely delicious. But I guess you'll just have to watch to see what happens.

This film isn't a classic. However, it's a totally reasonable popcorn flick. Other than some unnecessary stereotyping of American Indians, it's actually quite fun. Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson play off each other beautifully, creating some good laughs. There's also a good cameo from George Takei as a sassy time machine. Things get a little off-beat at times - there's a scene with a flame thrower and another with a sacred time knob. These scenes will either make you laugh or roll your eyes. The movie could have done with a little trimming to pick up the pace, but it's otherwise a solid movie. Definitely worth watching. I would recommend this for younger kids, or those looking for some light-hearted entertainment. While not as good as your average Pixar or Miyazaki, it's no trash either.

Free Birds is the story about Reggie...an outcast of a turkey who is being raised on a farm but is the only one who knows why he and all his other turkey friends are there. When the other turkeys eventually realise what's going on, Reggie still manages to become the main menu item. However, as a quirk of fate, Reggie is picked out by the President to become the Pardoned Turkey. Living the life of riley at the White House, Reggie meets Jake...the (only) member of the Turkeys Liberation Front who's on a mission to go back in time and stop turkey's becoming the item of choice for Thanksgiving Dinner and Reggie is Jakes unwilling Liberation partner. Soon, Reggie & Jake find themselves going back in time and get caught up in the middle of a turkey clan's fight for survival all while trying to avoid becoming dinner themselves.Free Birds is another cracker of a movie from DreamWorks and is a movie that the whole family will enjoy. I've read reviews of people complaining about the storyline and that the idea of turkeys going back in time is ridiculous. I've got news for all you moaners...it's an animated movie! Get over it! Is it any more ridiculous than a snail racing in the Indy 500, or a scientist who makes it rain food? Animated movies aren't restricted to "rules" and are supposed to be fun, which is exactly what Free Birds is.There are a lot of good funny moments in this movie including Jenny's droopy eye (the timing of which is done masterfully), the constant contests between Jake & Ranger, and the few in-jokes the movie has (the Angry Birds reference for one) as well. The animation - as we have come to expect from animated movies these days - is superb and is crystal clear in Blu-ray and the cast do a fantastic job with their characters.I could go on, but I'll just end by saying that Free Birds is a great movie and is very much recommended, so ignore the ridiculous hate and give it a shot.
