Ok, this movie is not good, but it's not bad. My biggest complain is the side characters(hiro's friends) they're boring and Hiro himslef is an arrogant jerk.

Big Hero 6 is undeservedly praised. The movie is a decent effort but with a weak emotional core that attempts to affect you but cannot. The movie thinks it's much much funnier than it actually is.

The animation looks good, the characters are ok on their own, but the story... oh my god the story is horrible. Cliche after cliche and forced emotional situations. It was clearly following a formula rather than a story. Whoever wrote the story needs to be shot for how badly it progressed. I actually predicted the entire movie in the 1st 10 minutes (I didnt know anything about it going in) and the only thing I got wrong was who the villain would be. I figured that the movie seems to cheesy that it would try another predictable twist like making the elder brother the bad guy and he is doing to get his GF back. That is how predictable the movie was. No originality whatsoever and it got worse as it went along. I almost puked when i saw it turn to a bad superhero flick. My friends 5 year old asked us why the kid didnt just build more of the small robots or make a new remote control (referring to the brain control interface).... how sad is it that a 5 year old figured that out? Not good.

Despite how bad the story was, I thought beta max or whatever his name was, was a funny character. The aunt was funny too. Everyone else was retarded including the main character Hiro.

Overall, average at best. Highly overrated.… Expand

I have to say that I am becoming increasingly weary of both the quality of animated films lately and the seemingly tireless obsession audiences have for super hero films which, it seems I finally have to admit are not my bag. Big Hero 6I have to say that I am becoming increasingly weary of both the quality of animated films lately and the seemingly tireless obsession audiences have for super hero films which, it seems I finally have to admit are not my bag. Big Hero 6 combines the two and aside from the brilliant animation and delight of combining the cities of San Francisco and Tokyo to make San Franokyo, this remains a bit of a slog to get through. Baymax is a lovely character, but the plotting is so predictable that the interest remains muted. Needless to say it's a big hit and sequels will undoubtedly follow, but I for one will sign out here.
Far superior is the accompanying short 'Feast' which is an absolute delight. With regards to this double bill, less is certainly more.… Expand

First of all, they had to drop the dead parents bomb. I understand there are some situations where Disney appropriately uses this to build character like in finding Nemo depicting some of the struggles of a single parent. There's nothing important about Hiro's lack of parents. His aunt may just as well been his mother. Why not present a more relevent reason for his lack of parents? Take Caroline for example. Although the parents are "there", it's only superficial because they pay no attention to her. That's a common problem many teens experience. There are also way too many secondary character sacrifices. It lost it's poignancy after a while and you knew which characters would not make it.
Other character inconsistencies include Baymax. He's funny and charming, but he seems to be more of a cute ploy to attract viewers. I wouldn't have been suprised if he didn't exist in the original script, because he doesn't bring effect the plot as much. The villain also was a bad choice and his motivations seemed rushed. Not every villain has to be a "suprise".
Lastly, the here seems to be no redeeming theme of the whole film. Sure there was your usual team-work montage and the typical "revenge is bad" lesson, though I didn't feel as though Hiro learned anything from his trip. The work/pay-off section as well didn't really seem to teach me much either. While a theme against cutting corners was hinted, it never was tied together. There are some themes in Big Hero 6, but they are pretty typical in most kids films and aren't particularly followed through.
It's not a bad movie. The animation is superb as one would expect from a Disney animated film and there were a lot of laughs and fun quirks you will enjoy. Unfortunately without deep characters, motivations, or themes, the movie wasn't as memorable as I anticipated.… Expand

Following the positive track record that Disney's animated studio has, with recent releases of Frozen and Tangled, it was easy to see why I was excited about Big Hero 6. But, that excitement was short lived. Before I explain myFollowing the positive track record that Disney's animated studio has, with recent releases of Frozen and Tangled, it was easy to see why I was excited about Big Hero 6. But, that excitement was short lived. Before I explain my dissatisfaction with the movie, I will go over the positives of the film.

Baymax is as loveable a character as any Disney has put to film, and the humor associated with him makes for quirky and intelligent dialog. The visuals are also something to behold, but I've come to expect it from Disney. The voice actors are also well versed and expertly chosen for their individual roles. However, not everything is done as well.

Big Hero 6 struggles to find out what kind of movie it wants to be, and its quick shifts between emotions allow the viewer no time to grow attached to any of the characters. The movie also tries to throw a plot twist at you that is predictable and unimaginative. The plot, story and progression all seem eerily familiar, and that's because they are all copied from films of all genres. It's cliche to the maximum and never creates its own unique identity. As it struggles to find its identity, the movie gets progressively more boring to the point of total disconnect.

But, I can only fault BH6 so much because it is a movie targeted at a younger audience. However, comparing it to the studio's two previous films, Frozen and Tangled; BH6 cannot hold a candle nor even a match. Disappointing, confused and highly dramatic, I give BH6 a 5-out-of-10.… Expand

I thought it was again built for kids with a sprinkling of adult concepts enough to emerge from childlike entertainment to amuse the adult funny bone throughout. Wrong! This is a kid's movie...period. Intense color, action, no logic to the story elements, just a kind of psychedelic splattering of stream of consciousness video game dream sequences. Over 18? Beware the waste of your movie dollar. Under 18? The action, state of the art animation, and absolute childlike fantasies brought to life, it's beyond loveable.… Expand

Nobody looks at the messages in a movie anymore, this movie is preparing our culture to try to become better god's than we currently are... lol, and teaching us that in order to ascend into a greater evolved self, that we need upgrades... INobody looks at the messages in a movie anymore, this movie is preparing our culture to try to become better god's than we currently are... lol, and teaching us that in order to ascend into a greater evolved self, that we need upgrades... I wish i could make this up but the only God, totally predicted this would happen (among other predictions that came to pass) and recorded the last time this happened culturally... humanity became pretty evil and God in his mercy had to destroy it in a world-wide flood to save Noah and family and all future generations born into the then (and now) unforgiving and evil world. You are told of all the nice things technology gives us but nobody considers all the terrible things we will do with it. Holographic sex doll anyone? Or if your grandpa was Hitler and someone uploaded him into the internet maybe he gets downloaded into a nice robot. My concern here is not technology itself, I believe we're just wanting it so to cheat death and keep sinning, not being accountable to God but BEING God. The wages of sin is death, and through Christ Yeshua (Jesus) you can live. But mark not my word but God's Word; we're not going to be allowed to live forever with or without technology apart from Jesus. God said "My Spirit will not contend with man forever" Gensesis 6:3. I'm not judging you for watching or even enjoying the movies, I just don't want people to be deceived. Your probably thinking i'm totally deceived too. That's ok but please don't hate me! Or say i'm being "intolerance" and then become totally intolerant of me. But when your kid begins to hate himself because he's not as good as all the superhero's he sees in every kids show or as big as the school bully, just tell him he'll get an upgrade one day. We don't need technology near as much as we need Jesus, our moral example and creator. Don't you think that he would know what would or wouldn't make us 'better'? Anyway, i'm not trying to convert anyone, I'm completely incapable of changing anyone's beliefs no matter how much I write here, that's a matter between you and God who says, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh..." Ezekial 36:26. I'm just saying we should seek truth for ourselves and not believe everything Disney or Microsoft or Nasa is telling us.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had very great expectations for this movie especially after seeing reviews/box office earnings. However, i was terribly disappointed. it seems this movie was made solely for young kids who have little sense of how the world/reality works. Too many movie cliches used in this movie... so many that I can't think of a single original plot line/device used by this movie. You could see plot twists from a mile away e.g when it was about to be revealed that Callaghan was the guy in the mask. This movie is for little children who swallow everything they are fed. I give a 5 rather than a 2 or 3 just because a few parts made me genuinely emotional. Overall, an overrated, over-hyped disappointing movie.… Expand

It seems Disney wants to step out of its boundaries on how it portrays family relations, this time focusing on a brotherly relationship with Big Hero 6, even if that relationship is relatively brief. However with the title of "Big Hero 6" youIt seems Disney wants to step out of its boundaries on how it portrays family relations, this time focusing on a brotherly relationship with Big Hero 6, even if that relationship is relatively brief. However with the title of "Big Hero 6" you hoped to see a spoof of the Justice League with possibly one of the more humorous robots of the past years. Despite these elements, it never exceeds to be anything flavorful with a rather unremarkable protagonist whose sole function is to whine a good amount of the movie, and where the plot fails to pick up any sort of momentum.
With all this, Big Hero 6 doesn't stray too far from the Disney formula of: early loss of loved one, meet new friend, fight bad guy, get beat down, cheery emotional pep talk, and fight bad guy again but this time save the day. However it does these elements much better than past Disney or Pixar films, and that I really like.… Expand

Starts out promisingly, and there are some really funny moments once the Baymax is introduced, but the for me the film lost it's way a bit in the final third. By the end of it, the schmaltz strangled all of the humour and charm.

Big Hero 6 won as Best Animated Feature Film, and the other films nominated in this category were The Tale of Princess Kaguya, The Boxtrolls, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and Song of the Sea. The only other one I've watched so far in Tale of Princess Kaguya, which I absolutely loved.

Big Hero 6 started out very nicely, introducing you to some interesting characters animated in a very slick 3D style. Based on a Marvel comic I had not heard of before this film, we get another super hero origin tale about how a small group of geniuses come together as crime fighters, using their individual "products" they have developed to sit in for actual super powers...sort of like 5 individual Batmans with all the cool gadgets.

While the story starts out fine, I found myself losing interest as it devolved into a formulaic and predictable second half. Because of this, I cannot give this film more than a 6 on the rating scale.

To sum up:

Positives: Slick animation style, Baymax

Negatives: Second half too formulaic and predictable, characters other than Baymax.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Real rating: 6.7/10
The intentions of the writers might not have been to link to K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle, but a Japanese controlled San Francisco is bound to invite that comparison. Which gives the film a horrendous back story that it never intended, but still infiltrates the viewers mind. Could they not have kept them in Japan like in the comics? That said the animation team should be patting themselves on the back, this is a masterclass in human emotion and natural movements which most animated films still have yet to get right two years later. Which if one were to view solely for the animation then yes it was deserving of its Oscar. However if we take the writing into account, then this is a cliché within a cliché that leads to a point where the villain gets rewarded for his endeavours, while the good guys might save the day, they are the one's who ultimately lost more. The work was predictable as predictable gets and one could see everything before it happened, so if you are a future animation student watch and enjoy, if you are anyone else, then it is average at best.… Expand

Premise: A brilliant young inventor assembled a robot and a group of friends into heroes to go against the person who had stolen one of his invention and killed his brother.

Pros: 1. It's a heartwarming story about a nurse/doctor robot that would do anything to keep his master safe. Made by the people at Walt Disney Studios (actually people from Pixar Studios).

Cons: 1. Could have been great if it had not looked like a lazy rip off of The Incredibles by the same Pixar people who made The Incredibles.

More: If Jobs was around, he would not have allowed this to be made or if he had come aboard after the film had been made, he would have demanded major re-animations or just canning of the whole film.

Score: 3/5 (no half scores). Watch it on TV only.… Expand
