I loved that film. I feel like it got owls just right while balancing human like culture into it. And it was also very plot driven and not creepy at all IMHO. All and all it has an amazing look if nothing else, most of all of you love birds in real life like I do. There is just something about keeping animals animals while giving them their own world and adventure that I have always loved, in Secret of NIMH, in Watership Down, and now in this film.I'm passing on "Legend of the Guardians" too. For some reason the trailer just makes me uncomfortable and angry, but this is the same company that gave us Happy Feet. I didn't like that aimless picture either. I kind of feel the film demonstrates the uncanny valley for owls. Maybe that's it. I'm just glad Zach Snyder is moving on from cartoons to comics.
I say this not as someone who has read the book series yet ether, but I am going to.
I am not going to say it is for everyone, but it really does help things if more people see a movie they are talking about before they decide it is awful I've decided. At worst you have support for why you dislike it, at medium you have a pretty looking film with a so so story and at best you might find you like it .
Even movies I knew I was going to hate, like G-Force, I rented online from Netflix just to pass the time and make sure. (And watch the whole thing, I never ever watch half movies, I feel like there is no point if I don't take the whole thing in)
