El reino de los monos: La revolución

This was a strange film it just made me laugh all the way through. The main character Edward spoke like a chav. "Yeah man" "You tried to kidnap my girl We were younger then That was yesterday" Not sure it's suitable for children I believe some words were lost in translation

I'm quite picky to like movies, especially movies for children... I understand the bad ratings that got this one. But i want to say that i enjoyed very much this movie... I don't know where did it come from, it's like an UFO, you could find a few flaws to it, i guess, but it really worked for me... I'm french and about of the age of the writer (Jamel Debbouze)... so maybe that helped me to be synchronized with what he wanted to do. I felt this movie has been made with heart, every character, every moment captivated me, i feel it's like a music that can work for you or not... In my case, again, it worked from start to finish, even if the story sometimes lacks of credibility, it really didn't matter, the voices of the characters and their acting made me always laughed or smiled or something... They even imitated a very famous comic actor of the past of the french cine (Louis de Funes)... That was so amazing to hear him almost alive...! I saw it with my kids two or three times, and we often imitate now the way the characters spoke, or jokes they made... So, believe it or not, this movie is one of my favorite, all category, all time! It's a UFO, but made with heart!! I can assure you at least that. But i completely could understand if you won't find anything there enjoyable for yourself. Especially if you're not French and if you see it dubbed in other languages... But try it and see if the music hits you!

This is one of the worst movie I have seen. And we lasted only 30mn before stopping the torture. And I am French.

The CGI is primitive, with nothing added to the obvious motion capture to make the character "alive", but most importantly, the story is abysmal and the character development non existent.

I am wondering how such an "object" can be made. It must cost some money to make, how is it possible to do not try to at least make something watchable? I guess you can see there the bane of the French entertainment industry: movies get income from pre-sales to TV channels, so they just have to show a bankable cast in some script that is sure to not offend anyone, and they cash in from TV braindead execs before even making the movie. I can see only this explanation for this "thing".

A perfect lesson on how NOT to do a movie.

Animal Kingdom makes you laugh , it makes you cry. It makes you sing and dance. Fun for all the family. My wife and children adored it. You'll find many of the characters are extremely sigma and relatable. The film touches on many topics including evolution, grief and tornados. Sadly no monkey sex here, but it definitely alludes to the love interest having a big dinner, if you know what I mean 😉. Already watched it twice, so many hidden details in the dialogue. Hoping the next installment in the universe is as much of a treat as this. I have a feeling the Animal Kingdom Lore goes deeper than we thought! Finally , the animation was magnificent.

There is obviously a lot of passion in the ratings for this movie, it's mostly either 1 or 10 stars. I didn't have any expectations for the movie, so I was happily surprised. I watched the original French version, and I can well understand that people who don't know or like the two generations of French comedians Jamel Debbouze and Louis de Funès didn't get into the movie, especially Jamel, with his fast French-Moroccan accent from the suburbs. But I found both totally suitable to the characters and Jamel absolutely terrific. Actually, all of the characters' voices were excellent, there was a lot of work choosing the right voices, accents and tonality for these characters, in addition to the funny dialog. A great family comedy, kids will easily follow the simple plot, although kids and people not familiar with French culture will not benefit from all the hidden humor like some references. There is a bit of the Croods' theme, a tribe leaving its safe haven for the Unknown, and quite a few other borrowings from it, but the whole story is still very different. The almost human faces were a bit upsetting to me, almost too realistic. ;) Definitely a reference animation I will probably watch a few more times, one star less than The Croods I already watched at least 5 times, in English and in French. And there's not that many French full feature animation movies either.
