Water, Air, Fire and Earth are the elements of the world. In this world there are four Kingdoms named after each of those elements. Each of those Kingdoms have their people master its element. They are all under the supervision of the avatar ‘Aang’ (Noah ringer) who masters all those elements’ crafts and who is the only link to the spirit world. When the avatar was lost, the fire nation took the chance to control the world. The avatar appears to start his journey with his faithful friends Katara (Nicola Peltz) and her brother Sokka (Jackson Rathbone) to prevent the fire nation’s vicious intents. But, The avatar’s fear of responsibility, fear of making rigid decisions and the incapability of handling the four elements as he’s supposed to, make this movie interesting.
I guess I have to begin with the storyline, so you get the general idea of the movie, well, here you are:-
Gru (Steve Carell) is a mad man who lives in a… -let’s say “different” house/world than the rest of the surrounding houses in a happy suburban neighborhood. In his journey to accomplish his life’s dream (stealing the moon), Gru faces an obstacle. Vector (Jason Segel) “another mad geek guy” is that obstacle. A light bulb shined above Gru’s big head when he decided to use a trio of little orphan girls to win his battle. With the little girls got madly driven in his daily life Gru starts to change. well, not every mad man is a bad man.
I watched the movie and I really liked it. The humor and the unstoppable laughs. The minions’ voices that keeps echoing in your head even after the movie which makes the movie post-effectable. The ending is so predictable as the rest of the animated movies nowadays, I mean they had to do it predictable (the good wins) as the genre Family/Kids or the PG rated movie must be
I have this habit that when I plan to watch an animated movie I try to not know the actors’ (characters’) voices before watching it. I prefer to challenge myself and try to figure them out while watching the movie < kinda stupid huh. Anyway, in this movie I figured out Gru’s voice (Steve Carell), Gru’s Mom’s voice (Julie Andrews) but what was really pissing me off is Vector’s voice (Jesse Segel), Although I would have known his voice from dozenes of actors, because I’m a fan of “How I Met Your Mother” TV-Show.And that’s what killed me.
That what I think makes the animated movie highly performed. Different voices of a known and good actor/actress who you think you can recognise. I mean, The known good performance of an actor but the voice is different. Read the rest of this entry »
