My review of Angry Birds (spoiler free)
***1/2
Cast: Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Bill Hader and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage*
Plot overview: Find out why the birds are so angry. When an island populated by happy, flightless birds is visited by mysterious green piggies, it's up to three unlikely outcasts - Red, Chuck and Bomb - to figure out what the pigs are up to.
Angry Birds has been a worldwide phenomenon for many years now and usually movies based on games especially mobile games don't normally get a good reception, but this, this is probably the best game based movie I have ever seen.
When the movie was announced by Sony a lot of people gave a bad name straight away but then again so did I, but when it was released the people who gave it a bad name liked it. When I saw it I thought it was a really fun animation and an a really interesting take on a mobile game.
The reasons why I think this is a must see animation:
Origin: Angry Birds started life as a mobile game and it's popularity just exploded in a matter of months. Just to think seven years later it still remains to be extremely popular and a with a unique adaptation I think it will still be popular many years to came.
Action: The action is a formidable choice for a movie like this but I think it was a good choice because the action is well used, and well made if a little flat but I'll get to that in a second. With the characters having their own unique fighting skill it certainly shows that the people who made this made a good adaptation it was very funny and fun for the whole family.
My initial mark for this movie was going to be 8 out of 10 but the reason for the actual mark is because it fell flat here is the reason why that is:
Much like the game: When the movie go to the action part I thought it was fun at first but then it fell a little flat because the movie started to look like the game, which isn't a bad thing but it's not a good thing either.
Other than that fact I thought this was a well made silly and fun animation that the whole family will love.
Verdict: Silly, fun and just a good time if a little flat near the end. 7/10 recommended.
*2012 - Best performance by an actor in a Supporting Role Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television, Game of Thrones (2011)
