I've watched this one briefly after it came out, and I have to say I agree with most of what you've said. There was something in the movie that didn't convince me as much as the first one, I can't really point my finger on it though. I guess that those plot elements you hinted about might be the culprit, but maybe it was just a generic vibe, a lack of originality if you will: if I single out every scene one by one I find them amusing and sometimes even outright brilliant, but the movie as a whole didn't work for me as much as I'd hoped. Then again, as you point out yourself, the intended target of the movie aren't adults, so I'm happy I had fun watching it. I liked the visuals too, but I noticed a difference between scenes inside the ocean and scenes set elsewhere: the former looked a little poor, detail-wise.Ehy @ezzy, another nice one.
Side note: I'll keep reading your reviews, if only to read some of the comments under them. Some of them (if you're reading this, chances are your comments are not those I'm referring to) are so amazingly out of place that they become automatically a work of art.
Dory. As I mentioned, the real stars were the supporting cast (including Nemo and Marlin). I believe the CGI camerawork was way better than the first so if you saw though a little less of some of the visuals in this movie, the pace forced us not to linger on them for too long. But an interesting viewpoint, buddy.Thanks for the vote of confidence, @ziofeda! The essence of the first was lacking, IMHO. I just couldn't relate to
Lol, I know. Some of the comments I received are strange, at best. But I've muted so many by now that I wouldn't be able to see them anyways. You can have fun with them though, lol. :)
