As Good As It Gets
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
I love polar bears, but this was scarring!!! Mainly because it stars Rob Schneider. Not only that, this movie feels like one of those cheap $1 movies whose DVD covers you see at Walmart. This movie is just a desperate attempt to be hip and cool with the kids. I'm even a 2000s kid, and I was offended by this film. Yes, this movie is even offensive to 2000s kids. Heck, even kids in GENERAL loathed this movie. The lemmings are basically the annoying little pooplets!!! This is so crappy. It is THAT bad. Nostalgia Critic even shaved his head because of this!!! WHAT KIND OF MOVIE IS THIS??!! IT'S LIKE GROUNDHOG DAY, EXCEPT IT'S SO UNFUNNY, THAT INSTEAD OF WATCHING BILL MURRAY, WE'RE WATCHING ROB SCHNEIDER!!!! Mr. Green is just as over the top as Chester V from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. This movie is its own asylum knock-off. That's how bad it is. Stay away from this movie.
Surely my review would annoy those who liked it. But the majority of who saw it was felt just like me. It has been 20 years since the first 3D animated feature film came. Not all the films released in this period were great. Some were technically sounded good and some were stories. If you had seen 'Hoodwinked!', you would know how awesome that story was, despite the poor animation production. But this film failed in all the department.I recently finished watching the first season of 'Trollhunters' and 'Miraculous Ladybug'. Even the television made products were much better than this film. Small budget, small production house et cetera is not an excuse. Thankfully, this is not the only bad animated feature I've seen so far in my life, but sadly it joins the list of those titles.Maybe! The little kids could enjoy it, who does not know to differentiate between good and bad. But for the adults, this is definitely skippable film. The best thing about this film was the message it carried, though, even for an animated film and a fantasy film, not convincing enough. It was kind of very similar to 'Delhi Safari'. In some perspective, I thought it was a remake of that. There are lots of other films similar to this like 'Chole & Theo', 'Happy Feet' and so on that you can try them instead.2/10
Very entertaining. Contains huge plot holes, lots of unfunny humor, useless characters, ... everything about it is wrong, except maybe for one joke. So while the movie is very badly made, at least it's not boring, so you get some entertainment out of it. Give it as a prank gift maybe, but if your children are over ten years old and you expect them to take it seriously it might not work out so well.
Norm Of The North is probably the best movie ever. Not just in my opinion. But in everyone's opinion. Rotten Tomatoes even gave it a 9%/10%, which i think is an understatement, but whatever. There is only 1 bad thing about this movie.1. It's not long enough. IT SHOULD NEVER END! EVERRRR!Now the good things.1. Rob as Norm. With movies like "The Hot Chick" and now Norm Of The North under his belt, It's no wonder why he is one of the most respected actors in all of Cinema. He is an amazing voice actor!2. The complex setting and plot. This movie has the overused film cliché "THEY ARE BUILDING HOUSES IN THE NORTH POLE!" but does it really well. The setting is also good.3. The character design. THE HUMANS LOOK SO REAL! I THOUGHT SHARK TALE HAD GOOD ANIMATION, BUT THIS IS A WHOLE NEW LEVEL! STUPID, CRAPPY, LAZY ANIMATION, LIKE THE KIND SEEN IN "The Lego Movie" SHOULD BE BASED IFF THIS KIND!4. THE LOVE STORY! IT ISN'T FORCED IN AT ALL! 5. THE MUSIC! Never mind. I can't even pretend this aspect is good.6. THE REALLY GREAT ACTION SCENES. FROM THE OPENING SCENE, ALL THE WAY UNTIL THE ENDING, IT HAS AMAZINGLY SHOT SCENES. MOVIES LIKE, EVERY MOVIE EXCEPT THIS ONE, SHOULD TAKE A HINT! Conclusion: The people who gave this movie a bad review are being paid by Marvel. This movie is just to deep and smart for them. 11/10 best movie ever!
