I have to start off by saying that watching a movie in 3D is awesome. I am very excited by the fact that 3D seems to be a growing trend in Hollywood. That being said, I have missed some of the recent 3D movies, such as Beowulf and Journey to the Center of the Earth. In fact, the only movie I had seen in 3D before Bolt was Meet the Robinsons, which I found very entertaining as a family friendly type movie. Unfortunately, Bolt does not quite match the Robinson's fun value.
Bolt is a kids movie, unlike a lot of the animated films being made today, mostly those by Pixar, which appeal to kids and adults. Bolt is not a particularly engaging character, instead a hamster named Rhino steals the show and is given the majority of the funny lines. Bolt just never really gets going and suffers from a story line that doesn't really go anywhere. There are some themes about loyalty and the loving relationship between pets and their owners but overall the film doesn't have a message to convey. The good news is that there is no objectable content, this one's squeaky clean. Take the kids to see this and they will probably like it but you may have a hard time getting much enjoyment out of it.
I think this will be a solid box-office movie for Disney, based on it's appeal to children, but their real hits will continue to come from Pixar, who has yet to dissapoint.
Rating: 4 out of 10. The movie isn't great but seeing it in 3D is a cool experience.
