movie review: Rise of the Guardians

[marcicat]

(Not to be confused with ‘Legend of the Guardians’ — that was the one with the owls. This is the one with Jack Frost.)

Much to my surprise, I liked it! Some disturbing imagery (particularly with regards to the defeat of Pitch), but I thought the movie left the door wide open for a redemption angle, so that’s what I’m going with.

I thought the plot was okay, but mostly I liked the interaction between the Guardians — North and Bunnymund, Toothania and the Baby Teeth, all of them with children — it was so much fun! (“Everybody loves the sleigh.”)

I kind of want to watch it again, actually.

The characters were entirely awesome and the concept of it just had me clapping my hands and bouncing in absolute, unfettered, childish glee. :D Dunno if you've seen it, but there's fanfic out there for it, which is part of what convinced me I should finally watch it (that and Tumblr). I've only read a couple, but I feel like it's the sort of thing tailor made for fanfic. :)

Oh my gosh, so much fanfic! I loved the characters as well -- I laughed when I realized we both posted about watching it on the same day!

Great minds and all that. :D I have the 188 Hugs open in a tab and I've loved it so far as well!
