Charles Herold (cherold) This very dark kid's cartoon tells a trite and predictable good versus evil story, with owl-enslaving owls who talk about conquest and purity set against owls who just go around being noble because that's just what they do.There are really good moments in this movie, including a terrifically exciting escape scene and an amusing bit with a porcupine soothsayer, and the animation is technically very well done, even if I find this sort of hyper-realism rather dreary, but overall this is a rather dull Star Wars wannabe.
rillish The mediocre reviews for this movie really astonished me back in 2010 when it was released. "Gahoole" for me, was an amazing cinematic experience. 6 years later, after watching it again in high-def quality I felt compelled to add my praise for this absolute gem. Here are some of the high points:The story may seem unoriginal at first, and in terms of "good versus evil" it is. However, there are important themes underneath like prejudice and racism which gives the plot a more contemporary and important meaning. Although the setting is an almost exclusively owl inhabited world, these themes transcend surprisingly well into our human world. The voice acting is spot on, in fact one of the best in the genre, especially Joel Edgerton (Metal Beak) and Geoffrey Rush (Ezylryb). But what really stands out is the animation itself, both in terms of visual effects and the direction. Many scenes of the owls in flight are simply breathtaking. The owls and the world they inhabit are so detailed and diverse that they come alive on the screen.The only negative aspect in this movie was the music. While the orchestral themes are beautifully interwoven with the scenes, the choice to use modern teen popular music does not comply at all with the general mood and setting of the film. In summation, this is a movie that must be seen by all generations. Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole is not the best movie in general in this genre, but in terms of visual craftsmanship it is unparalleled.
samanoske6 i liked it very much. The music and animation awesome. every one should watch this . The animation works one of a kind. A real war movie . should get between 7.5 and 8.8. i think it should get 8. i like Ezylryb—the mentor at the Great Tree and legendary warrior, Lyze of Kiel. and Metal Beak—leader of the Pure Ones and Nyra's husband. He wears a helmet over his head, to hide his missing beak, which was ripped off by Lyze of Keil (Ezylryb).it cool. the armour. The scene of a guardian rescuing digger in the sea and soren flying in the twister is classy.it would have been much more classy if the music track ost was done by hans zimmer. gladiator music.
p-stepien Based on a revered children's book by Kathryn Lasky tells an almost George Lucas type story about the legendary owls of Ga'Hoole, a protectors of the race, aimed at offering peace and fighting off evil. Evil here has the guise of Metalbeak (Joel Edgerton), who utilising brainwashed and corrupted owls to bring about destruction and afford himself ultimate power. Two young barn owls Soren (Jim Sturgess) and Kludd (Ryan Kwanten) are captured by Metalbeaks' forces. Kludd quickly becomes enticed by the vestiges of power, while Soren desperately escapes with an elf owl Gylfie (Emily Barclay), soon venturing to alert the mythical guardians from Ga'hoole of the impeding doom.Generic and lacklustre Zack Snyder again manages to bring in the style and the stunning visuals, but lacks sufficient regard for storytelling and character-build. Too brutal for younger viewers, whilst insufficiently well-rounded to engulf older audiences, "Legend of the Guardians" lingers in between. Good and evil are simple guises, while the inevitable confrontation occurs without much triumphant virtue. Overall a tedious, borderline trite and semi-intriguing tale, which fails to be lifted by some nifty characters, instead seems overly focused on getting all the elements of the 'guideline to making a Hollywood epic' in place, including obligatory, but poorly introduced comedic relief. Instead it always feels rushed to the point (with some ridiculously obsessive pacing issues) and the key focus made on pretty pictures: the owls, their environment and the overall settings feel extremely realistic.
