My aren't we all big and tough?
A good movie is a good movie, whether it has enough blood and sex to be R rated or not. Who cares if it's Dreamworks, Disney, or whoever? Who cares if it's animated? What difference does any of that make?
What makes it more for children than any other "adult" movie? Hell, Avatar is apparently just Fern Gully with aliens. Is Avatar a childrens movie too? Even PiE has a viable point; what does E.T. or Star Wars have that make them more adult than How To Train Your Dragon?
Instead of trying to assert yourself above others, attempting to improve your otherwise-laughable self-confidence, try getting a grip on reality and STOP BEING AN ASS HOLE.

Good day to you, sir.

Re: despicable me
My my, since when cant someone say something negative about a movie? Anyways the main audience is children, I don't see why you guys still watch them. I mean I loved the lion king, spongebob, and a bunch of other cartoons/kid movies when I was a kid. They don't really have any appeal to me anymore besides good memories of them.CivBase wrote:Death no more wrote:Its a movie for children, not for 21 year olds gauz.

Good day to you, sir.
Most of the cartoons and children movies that come out now look stupid (Mainly the cartoons though.) Although what ever floats your boat, im just saying what I think.

Since you started insisting that any movie marketed towards children must suck.

Because I'd rather watch a movie with amazing animation, a good story, and quality humor than a POS movie that only gets its popularity from blood, sex, and Megan Fox. A good movie is a good movie. Who cares if kids like it too?

So? Since when did an episode of Spongebob ever come close to a good movie? Again, just because it's appropriate enough for kids to watch doesn't mean it's made for 5-year-olds.

And I love how you, again, try to put yourself above others, EXACTLY like I said five minutes ago. Way to prove my point.
Besides, you seem to have no problem tearing apart movies that you know nothing about, so why are people so different?

Re: despicable me
comments in this thread is exactly what pisses me off as someone going into animation as a career... why exactly is something automatically "child only" if it is animated? I can think of tons of live action movies that are aimed at children that adults love... but as soon as the movie is being drawn or modeled it becomes "off limits"
what the hell man? animators work hard on that stuff, and its intended for all audiances.... nobody will think less of you for enjoying a good movie, even if it is animated
feature movies are also nearly NEVER aimed at children... the target audiance is teenagers and adults, you know... the people with MONEY... the movie may be child friendly to get parents to spend even more to bring their kids along, but I can assure you... if it is showing in a movie theatre... and you have money to spend... you are in the target audience of an animated feature film

I fail to see how movies with good plots, amazing animation, and sincerely funny humor, are stupid. I don't think you even watch these movies.

Re: despicable me
No I'm just saying that its not my type of movie, sure it would be cool to watch it when I was younger but now its just not my thing, but I guess some people are never to old for that stuff.CivBase wrote:Death no more wrote:My my, since when cant someone say something negative about a movie?

I don't care about blood, sex, and fuck Megan Fox I hate her. I'd rather watch something with a bit deeper of story, Children movies don't seem to have as deep of story due to the fact their target audience are children, and why would they make a complex story? Children movies are usually simple and funny. Besides I don't watch that many movies except for the really good ones like LOTR, Avatar and few others.CivBase wrote:Death no more wrote:Anyways the main audience is children, I don't see why you guys still watch them.

I would hardly call one negative sentence "Tearing it apart." I didn't tear it apart in the slightest, I only said it looks gay, doesn't mean that its a definite. Unlike how you definitely tried to tear me apart.CivBase wrote:Besides, you seem to have no problem tearing apart movies that you know nothing about, so why are people so different?
Those movies are to simple, the humor is childish, and of course they have good animation many children movies are animated. So I don't see why you guys like them so much.Gauz wrote:Death no more wrote:My my, since when cant someone say something negative about a movie?

Re: despicable me
Oh... my god. Seriously? Have you WATCHED Toy Story 3? WALL-E? Up? They ALL have complex stories with deeper meanings than any other shit movies out there.Death no more wrote:

Children are NOT the target audience! Because children can't pay to go see movies themselves! They are aimed at the WHOLE family!
Calling a movie "gay" is wrong on many levels... and it is definately "tearing" on it. Whatever that means...Death wrote: I would hardly call one negative sentence "Tearing it apart."

okay... I might as well S-P-E-L-L this one out.
1) Good plots. Now, I say this beacause almost all Pixar animation movies DO have good plots. You keep saying they're simple, but I think YOU'RE the one who's simple. The movies are complex and deep, I don't know why you think otherwise.
2) Wonderful Animation. Now, I think the main reason you don't like these movies is because they're animated. You might as well not watch Avatar then, cuz you know, most of it is CGI.
3) Genuine humor. The humor is NOT childish. It's "G" rated humor. If you've watched this movie, you'd know theres some jokes that only older people will get. The same with the first shrek.
I don't know why you have this whole macho attitude that "Oooh animated movies are for kids and i'm soooo mature i'm gonna go watch a bloody generic action film!!"
Srsly... loosen up

I haven't been acting like that at all, It just doesn't appeal enough to me for it to actually be worth seeing. I guess saying gay was a bit to much but I do have a problem with bad wordsGauz wrote:

Re: despicable me
Your sir are an idiot.
The greatest 'children's' movies are timeless and rewatchable at any age? Because even though you are older, the film still caters to you with a subtle adult references or theme.
Look at the powerhouse that is pixar. Toy Story is full of themes of death and the limited time one has in life and to enjoy the now while it lasts, as well as subtle references to other 'adult films'
Finding Nemo is all about family and any parent can appreciate a rebelious yound child, and a their desire to grow up fast and be independent.
I could go on, but seriously, you'll come up with some half ass argument which makes no sense.
To which I reply, go watch Hiyo Myazaki's films, in particular Princess Monoke. That's aimed at children, and it has all the things you crave, as well as a worthy message.

Well, where I live, it's the opposite, as in, people are more inclined to see youth based animated movie because it's a youth based animated movie. Certainly more so then the other way around.
