Frozen Gave Me Chills

Disney's new movie, Frozen, premiered on Thanksgiving day. I saw it a few days later. This movie absolutely blew me away. It was amazing. I am giving this film a rating of one out of ten (remember that is the best rating a movie can receive using my scale).  I love this movie.

Frozen takes us on an adventure with two princesses, Elsa and Anna. Elsa posesess magical ice powers, but it is difficult for her to control them. They become a problem for her even at a young age. Anna does not possess any special powers and she is ignored by Elsa almost her whole life because Elsa feels like Anna is in danger around her. Elsa looses control of her powers on her coronation day and leaves the city. Anna chases Elsa and tries to bring her back, but things do not go as planned.

I have never seen a Disney princess movie in the theaters because I was too young to have any interest in going. But, after seeing the movie, Tangled, at my house, I have always wanted to see a movie about a princess in a theater.

I will admit that at first I was not impressed by the movie's trailer. But, I remembered the trailer for Tangled was not that appealing either, and I thought Tangled was fantastic. So, I decided to watch Frozen in the theater the weekend it premiered.

My eyes were glued to the screen through the whole movie. There was not a dull moment. There was even a big twist ending. It was also interesting to have two princesses, instead of just one.

Character Development was great in this movie. Every character was different and very interesting. I am having difficulties choosing a favorite one because they were all great! Often in animated movies certain characters are unrealistic and boring.  When this happens, the movie becomes less interesting. Frozen had great characters which gave the movie a special touch.

I highly recommend you see Frozen. It was a great movie! This film appeals to all types of movie lovers. I promise you will be very entertained when you see this movie.

Fantastic, Amazing, and "Epic"!

Since I was little, I have always been a fan of animated movies, and I still am today. I don't know what it is about these type of movies that I enjoy so much. It may be the innocence, or it may remind me of my childhood.

This past weekend I watched an animated movie called Epic. The title fits the movie because this movie was epic! My sister tried to convince me to watch this movie for about 4 months. Every time she has asked I have said no because of the trailer. The trailer does not do this movie justice. The trailer makes the movie seem like every other animated film, but this movie had a great plot, great characters, and a great ending. All the ingredients for an epic movie.

Let's start by talking about the plot of this movie. It was fantastic, awesome, and epic even though it was similar to the average cartoon movie. The beginning of the movie gave some clues about the main characters. The middle has more character development. But, the ending was different from the average cartoon movie. There was a boy and a girl in the movie and obviously they had feelings toward each other. But, they didn't end up together. I personally enjoyed this part of the movie. It made the film more realistic.

The one thing missing from the movie was one character's development. Most of the movies I review seem to be missing at least one character's development. The main characters were very well developed, but the movie did not show enough of the villain. With most animated movies they spend more time developing the villain. By the time you finish watching an animated movie the villain should be cemented into your brain. How about Tangled for example? When I had finished watching Tangled I could not forget the name of the villain, Mother Gothel.  Epic did not have this affect on me; sadly, I have already forgotten the name of the villain. So, the one thing that could have been improved is the character development of the villain. Other than that, the movie had great character development.

Even though the movie was missing this one element, I still recommend you see this movie, especially if you are a fan of animated movies that are different. Go watch it soon and I assure you will have an epic time!
