Both of the screenings I've been at he got the best laughs and all the critics seem to love him as well.

What a terrible news.It was totally overshadowed by Twilight! <BR/>What a terrible year for Disney.<BR/>They did great movies and every one (except Beverly Hill Chihuahua) didn't meet expectations. And all of them had good to great reviews...<BR/>I think that they choose bad dates!!<BR/>It is the only reason!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-64159964171193987512008-11-21T22:56:00.000-08:002008-11-21T22:56:00.000-08:00Yikes - 3 day estimates for Bolt so far are $28 mi...Yikes - 3 day estimates for Bolt so far are $28 million for the weekend. Not as good as expected.

Opening night.<BR/><BR/>Even with my lowered expectations, I felt let down.<BR/><BR/>The first scene was adorable and heartfelt. The action sequence was amazing. And yet, they were like two completely different movies. Both would have made great movies on their own merits -- one a heartfelt "Mittens finds love with the help of an unlikely 'dog' ally," the other being a "freaking amazing superdog movie."<BR/><BR/>On to other topics now, however:<BR/><BR/>It fell completely flat in the middle. It was full of meta humor and wink-wink, nudge-nudge throughout, especially with the agent guy. It was "reBOLTing."<BR/><BR/>Anyways, Rhino was obnoxious and Travolta was terrible (I can't stand him, so take that however you'd like).<BR/><BR/>That said, Mittens was fantastic. If the whole movie had centered on that cat, it would have been 1,000,000 times better. Such a heartfelt story, with real depth. And Susie Essman is a great vocal talent.<BR/><BR/>The animation was a bit spotty, simply in that it felt like it was this bizarre blend of water colored blurs in the backgrounds with hyper-realistic animals, and hyper-stylized humans.<BR/><BR/>Back to the good stuff -- the end was also very touching. From the moment that Bolt stepped back onto the lot, the movie fell back into place. Mittens coming full circle and Bolt going in to rescue Penny were the heart and soul of this movie. If the whole movie had revolved around the Mittens plot of realizing that humans can truly love their pets and Bolt being the catalyst for that, I would have loved it and given it an A+.<BR/><BR/>So, get rid of Rhino -- he was the Jar Jar Binks of this movie. I know that I'm taking an unpopular stance with that comment, but dear God -- he ranks up there with the worst of Disney sidekicks (Terk, the gargoyles from Hunchback, etc).<BR/><BR/>All in all, I'd give the movie a B-. I know I sounded hypercritical, but it wasn't terrible. It just wasn't great. And like everything since Lilo and Stitch, it's mostly going to be forgettable. It's the Oliver and Company of this generation, just waiting for its Little Mermaid (which The Princess and the Frog had better be).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for letting me have this soapbox.
