Watch Tad, the Lost Explorer For Free

Excellent adaptation.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I have not much to say about this movie. Tad the lost explorer is a very clichè and unoriginal movie. It apes every single adventure movie (mostly Indiana Jones). The story is boring and forgettable. The main protagonist (Tad) is pathetic, goofy and forgettable (his sidekick, Sara is a good Lara Croft clone). Graphic is ok (but some texture are very ugly, just like the jaguar scene), the movie has some very interesting visuals, but there are just few of them. The movie is occasionaly violent and the ending is predictable. Overall the movie isn't terrible, just mediocre and forgettable. Spain tries to ape Disney Pixar but it has a lot to learn. By the way, I'm not going to watch the sequel.Final score 5/10 (mediocre). If you want to enjoy "Tad the lost explorer" I strongly reccomend to watch it without too many expectations.

A three-star rating for an animated movie may seem a little bit rude. I'll star with the good things of the movie. The characters are well constructed. The plot -and its development- are too. I guess kids - movie's main public- will enjoy this movie, and have their interest in history increased.But there were also things that I didn't like, as the lame script in some scenes, where the character's reactions were really ridiculous (but it wasn't more than three or four times). The main cause of my poor assessment is the big historical mistakes that the movie has. The plot goes about a key, needed to read some Inca indications. The Incas had no writing, and the indications are written in Chimú language, while the Incas spoke Quechua or Runa simi. They mixed the Inca culture with another ones like Nasca or Chimú.But, however, it entertains you.

Honestly I was avoiding this movie and for good reason. the cover shows about 6 males and 1 female... (already a bad sign...) in all I counted 3 females in the whole film that had something to say.. very distracting from the predictable story of guy goes on adventure meets girl does amazing stuff has a male super villain saves the day bla bla. It's a horrible way to portray a female. Honestly this is not a good film for children. I wish I could have enjoyed the film a little more and where it not for the amazing scenery I would have just put the film down. the girl though does have a bit of intelligence but looks like a sexualized object for male eye candy.

I was dragged along to see this film with other parents and kids and really hated it, and definitely regretted spending my money on it.On the positive side, some of the scenes are very pretty and colourful, and I suppose well made, although I must say I don't know the first thing about film-making.My main objection to the film, apart from how boring and predictable it is (you only need to watch the first 10 minutes to guess the rest), is how the female character and male characters are portrayed.On one hand the female protagonist, Sara, looks like an inflatable sex doll: the pouting collagen lips, and the boobs half hanging out in every shot. They even carefully and lovingly draw in the line of her buttocks in every possible scene.I have nothing against the illustrator drawing in his fantasy female. BUT if you take a look at all the other characters (and except for an elderly woman receptionist, all the other characters are men), all of them are drawn as caricatures: enormous noses, completely out of proportion chins, larger than life muscles, etc. However, no male sexual attributes at all: no bulges in the trousers or even anything remotely attractive about them.I know that sexism exists in real life and that for a woman it's still considered advantageous to look as sexy and attractive as possible, but do we really have to perpetuate this and teach it to our kids as acceptable? Is that the message of the film: middle-aged ugly, big-jowled unshaven uneducated building site worker gets off with the sex bomb? Just to give it some perspective for people who think this is OK: imagine the roles reversed: older ugly cleaning lady gets together with charming Adonis with large bulge in trousers, because he can see her "inner beauty". I would love to see that at the cinema. :P I felt embarrassed for my 7 y.o. daughter while watching it. Some of us parents spend a lot of time trying to teach our daughters that they don't need to look like porn actresses to be loved or to succeed in life, and then along comes the film industry...For me the film could have been quite OK (from a kids' point of view), just by using more graphically-credible or realistic characters.
