The previews were great, setting us up for a great movie.
It turned out that the previews were the best parts of the movie. The rest didn’t live up to expectations.
Things I liked about the movie “UP” – The dogs were soooo cute. Russel was an exemplary character with courage and compassion. All the characters were really cute – short and chubby. Oh, and the short in the beginning was really cute too. Yes, the movie was cute, but that’s about it.
Now for the things that were disappointing – There were hardly any special 3-D effects, you could’ve watched the whole movie without 3-D and wouldn’t miss anything. The basic storyline was too sad. That just puts a damper on the movie for me even though it had a good ending. The whole bad guy thing wasn’t right. He was not really a bad guy, but was made so sinister that it didn’t fit.
I don’t think “Up” is up there with Ratatouille and Cars.
