Good movie. Very goofy and fun like it needs to be being a children's film. I personally enjoyed it.

While I don't hold Early Man to be any sort of a masterpiece, it's still quirky and funny enough for me to recommend.

As usual, the animation is spot on and fun, and the voice acting is really cartoonish, and those two things help Early Man from succumbing to a thin plot

Early Man isn't Aardman best work for a mediocre writing and some lame characters, but at least has the entretaining humor of Nick Park, a good cast of voice acting and an amazing animation always.

This movie is atypical Aardman Animations film. There really isn't anything all that daring other than subverting a trope that if you are familiar with movies you will know what I am talking about. It's a safe movie. But safe doesn't meanThis movie is atypical Aardman Animations film. There really isn't anything all that daring other than subverting a trope that if you are familiar with movies you will know what I am talking about. It's a safe movie. But safe doesn't mean that it is terrible. Far from it! There are plenty of laughs that both kids and parents can enjoy, or really anyone of any age can enjoy if they aren't a sad sack with no funny bones in their body, their trademark Claymation style still looks fantastic and well crafted in an ever growing 3D CGI animation world, with thumbprints and messing with the scale in all (although there are times that the characters are clearly animated on a green screen and keyed in, taking me out of the movie), and some fantastic voice acting all around, especially from Eddie Redmayne as the cheerful lead Dug and Tom Hiddleston as the ridiculous Frenchman bad guy Lord Nooth. It's not the most original movie in the world, nor will it present something deep with the core story. This movie is basically like a warm blanket. You wrap it around your body and relax in the cozy feeling of warmth around your body.… Expand

A fun & charming movie for both kids and adults, a very enjoyable movie especially for the football fans with heaps of the greatest form of comedic expression; puns.

This movie is so charming and good natured. Why can't we make more movies like this? Really, there were no references to current popular culture or cheap gags or meanness.

Really, there were no references to current popular culture or cheap gags or meanness. Just a fun and funny movie with a great message and all around quality ingredients. This and Paddington were the best so far this year. Both from outside the US. Why can't the US make a movie that is sweet and human instead of dumb and gimmicky?… Expand

When I heard that Aardman was making another original claymation work I excited to see what they had come up with this time and I'm to say that Early Man does not disappoint. Early Man is about a group of caveman who kicked out their valleyWhen I heard that Aardman was making another original claymation work I excited to see what they had come up with this time and I'm to say that Early Man does not disappoint. Early Man is about a group of caveman who kicked out their valley by Lord Nooth and must challenge his bronze age society to a game Football/Soccer for the fate of there valley. Aardman as always has done a great job building the world in which characters interact. The comedy in this movie is perfect. However there some flaws in that moves really quickly. In conclusion if you like Aardman's work than you'll love the is film.… Expand

Sadly I did not find this Nick Park film as funny as I did Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, and Chicken Run, but perhaps the problem is that I am not as obsessed as the British with soccer and so I didn’t get all of the in-jokes.

This may also be why the film did not seem as popular in our local megaplex as the others either. But I enjoyed the film nevertheless and am looking forward to the next Shaun the Sheep film.… Expand

Men on the rocks, (pre) hysterical adventure that causes several laughs despite has´nt the strenght of Wallace & Gromit and Chicken run. The giant size mallard is cracking. Better off watch with the original cast of voices.

I went into this movie expecting to really enjoy it because it is Aardman, and Aardman makes great movies. This was a total snooze, I laughed one time and at the very beginning. I was very disappointed with this movie, it was just barely entertaining enough to keep me awake. The animation, as usual, is terrific; but only really in the case of the scenery, the characters just look so unappealing. Overall, this was just an eh movie, I was bored but slightly entertained. If you want to watch it, just wait until it's on DVD. C… Expand

From a critical standpoint, I know I should go into any movie with a bit of a blank slate. Still, there will occasionally be one of those actors, directors, or producers of which I am a huge fan. I feel like there cannot possibly be a bad product. However, Robert De Niro has taught me that for every “The Godfather Part 2”, there is an equal and opposite “The Comedian” – same artist, noticeably different results. Having said that, I have not yet had that experience with Nick Park and Aardman Animations. The same folks that gave us “Wallace & Grommit”, “Chicken Run” and “Flushed Away” have once again had me either lightly giggling or chuckling uncontrollably in the movie theater. Aardman’s clay animation techniques have transitioned quiet well into the digital age (as “Shaun the Sheep” has shown). This is balanced by the fact that Park and Aardman clearly know their roots as I could see things clearly influenced by “The Flintstones” and “The 2000 Year Old Man”. Along with the great storyline and comic dialogue is a great cast which includes Maisie Williams (“Game of Thrones”), Eddie Redmayne (“Les Misérables”), Roy Ayoade (“The IT Crowd”), and Timothy Spall (pretty much every Aardman film). Like the Aardman works that came prior to “Early Man”, I can assure that this movie will quickly become part of my home video collection with me quoting dialogue repeatedly… Expand

Now, I understand this is not one of Park's best films. However, I found it enjoyable and there was some pretty good laughs.
