Movies! Movies! Movies!
Last night I caught the previews of a couple graphic novels to movies. Well, technically Cirque De Freak was a novel series then a graphic novel series but still…
First Astro Boy. My initial reaction isn’t good. The animation looks chintzy and doesn’t offer anything we haven’t seen a million times, which is strange because, being based on a manga/anime, you would think they would take the animation seriously. I don’t think the cg really works in this case. They all look like they came from the Toy Story toy bin and that’s not a good thing in this case. Plus, just from the previews, it looks like they borrowed the Toy Story script as well. The screaming at each other, the flopping around. I just expected more since they had such an amazing mythology and plot lines to choose from. Still, previews aren’t always indicative of what the movie is actually like.
Then there’s Cirque du Freak:
Which looks awesome!
Both movies have famous casts which is a pet peeve of mine. Mainly because I know there are some amazing voice actors out there (and yes, live actors can be good voice actors too) but I have to listen to the annoying voice of someone famous instead. But still – Cirque Du Freak!!
