| | Apathy & CheeseI thought Sky Captain was extremely silly. But in a fun way. We cracked up a bunch, and the last line was great. Trying to balance the movie quality and the entertainment value, I'll give it a B-.
Pixar's seventh film opens in theaters today. Cars. That has to be one of the most original titles ever. Anyways, ever since I saw the teaser trailer when I watched The Incredibles, I've been apathetic and disinterested in it. The trailers just weren't very funny.
Cars will be the first Pixar movie that I have no desire to see in theaters. The alternate world of just cars doesn't appeal to me. It's hard to relate. Plus, I am not a big fan of nascar or even cars in general. I mean, I don't even have my darn driver's license yet.
The critics seem to be confirming my opinion of Cars. Good, but not up to the normal Pixar standard. Currently, Cars has 73% positive reviews. Compare that to the 100% of Toy Story & Toy Story 2, 98% for Finding Nemo, 97% for The Incredibles, 95% for Monsters, Inc., and 91% for A Bug's Life. Of course, all in all, Cars probably is still solid entertainment and just suffers in comparison.
Now, unlike Cars, I am quite enthusiastic about Pixar's next project... Ratatouille.
Out in theaters in June 2007, Ratatouille is about a rats. And they talk. Well, the official synopsis is... "The story is of a rat named Ratatouille who lives in a upmarket Parisian restaurant run by an eccentric chef."
The trailer, while not as good as some of Pixar's others, is oh so much more entertaining than Cars' teaser. Here's the trailer site... http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/ratatouille/
