How bad is the movie "The Wild" as a movie ? I've heard great things about its PQ but on the same note, everybody complained about how bad the story was.


I bought this movie few days back but still haven't opened it and was wondering should I open it or return it and get something else instead.

I asked about this movie as well, i think its one of those films you buy only for PQ so if your interested in MQ as well you should prolly skip it like me. If you have kids you may want to consider it. I personally don't have kids, and based on all the professional reviews i have read its not worth the money. Skip it

I look at like I will probably watch it at least a few times over the years. It will cost you as much money to rent it a few times. Enjoy it unless you really really need the money.

I do not have kids but I do enjoy animated movies once in a while (Lion King is still on top of my most favorite movies

). The only reason why I got "The Wild" was because I exchanged BDs from BB BOGO deal at Walmart and all they had was MI-III and The Wild...so I picked both up.


Also, Is Moster House any good?

Monster House is terrific. I think my wife and I enjoyed it more than our 9 yo did. He liked, but I loved it. The Wild is just okay. We watched it once and I imagine we'll watch it again couple of times down the road. I bought it on Amazon used...one can find it for 15 or less.

wow you found the blu ray version for 15 bux.

Movie = trite kiddy fodder.


PQ = phenomenal demo material.

Well my kids liked it. I much prefer Ice Age: The Meltdown. As mentioned, The Wild looks terrific though.

does "the wild" looks better than Ice Age ?

 

[Neo1965]

My kids like The Wild about the same as Ice Age II. The one they really like is Nacho Libre (horrible horrible movie).


Monster House is good. The moviemaker added fake grain deliberately to the animation though, so this is one of those strange style thing where it could have been perfectly clean and CG like, but made to look like film. Bizarre.


Other than the opening tall-tale sequence, the rest of the Wild feels like Madascar in HD, but with a weaker story line. Kids will still like it though.

 

[ajamils]

Since I do not have any kids.... I was trying to get opinions for myself

Yes!


I'll second the recommendation for Monster House as well. Great flick!

Monster House is better than Ice Age 2. I have both. Too bad about adding the film grain, though! It has more fake grain than most well shot live action movies with real grain.


Monster House's story is fairly straight forward and if they had put a little bit more effort into the characters and scripting rather than the 3D FX sequences, it could have been the next Iron Giant sleeper hit. It had potential, but sadly under performed when all is said and done. Still better than Ice Age 2!!

I disagree on both Picture and Movie Quality. Ice age 2 is better. Monster House is good but Ice Age is more fun.

 

[Dan Hitchman]

To each his own. I thought Ice Age 2 was phoned in like Shrek 2 and Shark Tale. Scrat's adventures were the highlight and the only reason I kept watching it.

Eh what the hell, since the thread's taken a new direction:


PQ:


The Wild > Ice Age 2 > Monster House


Movie:


Monster House > Ice Age 2 > The Wild


(Just my opinion of course)

 

[Honey1]

I watched it with my wife two weeks ago (no kids there!). The PQ is excellent, the movie is ok; it's quite standard stuff, but the lions are cute and some characters are funny. My grade would be C (on a scale ranging from A to F).

 

[PerryD]

Ice Age 2 was very bad. The Wild was just okay. I loved Monster House.

 

[goceltics34]

The Wild is better PQ than Ice Age, just barely.

Thats the most complete answer that i've seen so far
