The film was average at best. For starters it felt long, perhaps it would make a better short. I get the sense the critics like the "craft" of the stop motion more than the story telling. Strange that they don't give digital special The film was average at best. For starters it felt long, perhaps it would make a better short. I get the sense the critics like the "craft" of the stop motion more than the story telling. Strange that they don't give digital special effects films the same charity, Digital craft is as special as hand craft, but good story telling trumps all. Expand

Mediocre animated film. No creativity, no magic, no orignality as like Spirited Away or fun entertainment as Finding Nemo. Everything was very predictable, jokes were simple and old, nothing really special about the movie.

When I saw the scores and reviews that this film received I decided to watch it instead of another movie.

However, my friend and I left the theatre early because, although the visual quality of the picture was amazing, the plot was too slow and the puns and jokes (although subtle and funny enough) were not enough for us to push through the last half hour. It may have picked up towards the end, and regardless it will be enjoyed more by young kids and their parents than myself (I'm 17 - what was I thinking?!), but if you have any other use for 85 minutes, give that a second thought.

Very overrated. I went to watch it in a lighthearted mood, ready for entertainment, just to realize in the theater that I didn't like past Wallace & Gromit instances that much either. The script is way too referential, very thin on real Very overrated. I went to watch it in a lighthearted mood, ready for entertainment, just to realize in the theater that I didn't like past Wallace & Gromit instances that much either. The script is way too referential, very thin on real 'meat', and the jokes tired and unoriginal. There was hardly anyone laughing in the audience. Sorry, Aardman, but this kinda stinks. Expand

Entertaining, but probably would have been better as a short. The action felt too stretched-out; it lacked the manic energy that made the shorter W&G animations so addicting.

Even with the shocking technical mastery on display throughout, this W&G still somehow lacks the charm of previous works - it's more accessible, more disney (or more pixar?) - definitely more american-audience-tailored, which is a real shame.

I did not like this movie. i almost fell asleep about ten times, and i went at three o'clock in the afternoon. the only funny parts of the movie were Lady Tottington, and the corny references to movies like Frankenstien. the only reason I did not like this movie. i almost fell asleep about ten times, and i went at three o'clock in the afternoon. the only funny parts of the movie were Lady Tottington, and the corny references to movies like Frankenstien. the only reason i went was to watch the penguin movie that preseeded it, and i think to should have left after the first ten minutes.

The animation and voice acting are brilliant but the story didn't interest me that much and the films style of humor wasn't my taste.

Big time decency on the top of our movies. I hope this was written by Benedit Cumberbatch.
