Watch Bolt For Free

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Powerful

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It was alot better than i thought,at the start i wasnt sure i didnt think i was going to like it. 15 mins into the movie got intresting and if your an animal lover then im almost certain you will like it. there were a few sad parts,but most of it was an epic adventure im not going to forget it anytime soon. i did wish the film was on for allitle bit longer,but i dont regret renting this movie one little bit!

"Well I'm still yet to see an animated film that can topple the mighty 'Toy Story', 'TS' still sits on its throne with the number one spot. But Bolt is a nice film, very sweet, very nice, a touch of emotion and you have a good solid performance.The story is as usual pretty unoriginal but it still works well, it has a touch of 'Lassie' in there and 'Homeward Bound' with the cross country trek to find the owner but this does give it a soft touch that can pull at the heart strings in places. It starts off kinda weak, your not too such what the films tag is or where the plot is going but it soon starts to pick up when Bolt reaches NY. It looks great with some very detailed fur action going on and brilliant movement copying with other animals such as the pigeons. The funniest parts tend to be with the funniest character...that being 'Rhino the hamster', an almost Jack Black type rodent haha not an overdose of humour in the film but most comes from Rhino.Solid film for all but still cant compete with the mighty 'Toy Story' trilogy."

This movie seriously reminds me of the Disney works from the 90's, full of friendship, adventure, good feelings and vibes between a dog and his owner. The all concept and storyline is very clever, and in the middle also brings the touch of reality with the difficult but relevant theme of companion animals abandon, and the black holes of Hollywood multi- million dollar cinema industry. Bolt offered us an extreme positive message – unconditional care and love are far more valuable than self- interest, money, fame or notoriety. On the other hand, the viewer is also presented with a huge amount of humor and action, brought by another amazing characters like the pigeons or the hamster. Over all, we are facing another huge hit and magical work by Disney brilliant animators.

Lets face it, the early 00s were not kind on Disney. The Renaissance was over, their loyal target audience was in college and thus not interested, Pixar was doing the whole CGI thing way better than them and all in all they seemed to have lost their touch. Until this film. Oh sure, it's still very much like something Pixar would have done and a bit missing on that Disney magic, but it's still a very good film that allowed them to get back on their feet.And when I say it's something Pixar would have done, I mean that in a good way. Kind of. The plot features a dog, raised to believe he has genuine superpowers, suddenly being separated from his loyal owner Penny and now having to make his way back across USA to reunite with her. All the while having to learn that the world does not in fact play by his rules. Sounds like a Pixar movie, doesn't it. But then again, Pixar is a great film studio so that's not exactly an insult.And the story and the characters are very good in their own right. Bolt, the eponymous main character, is very gruff and no-nonsense, but also delightfully naïve about the realities of the world, while Mittens, his new cat sidekick/helper/kidnap victim is pretty much the exact opposite. And then there is Rhino, a hamster trapped in a plastic ball and also one of Bolt's biggest fans. Rhino is awesome.And yeah, it's kind of silly that I keep complaining about the fact that it's so much a Pixar film. It does make it seem a bit artificial in a way, because you know that they're copying much of their good material. But it's a good film, when all is said and done. Do see it, if you have the chance, is what I'm saying.
