Movie review:
- Gimly: I really like Nick Park’s work. I grew up watching Wallace & Gromit and Chicken Run and love them even now, but I think if you want to enjoy Early Man, maybe you have to like something else, but I Personally don’t like it.
- _Final Rating: ★★ – Definitely not for me, but I’m somewhat attracted_.
- CinemaSerf: I’m not a big fan of Aardman’s feature films. The standard of stop-motion animation is always great, but the story and characterization can be a little weak – and that’s certainly the case here. Some prehistoric humans were harmlessly going about their business when the asteroid struck Earth. As well as stealing their dinosaur dinner, this gives them a glowing orb and they realize they can kick a ball around – and the beautiful game is born! Years later, “Dag” and his friend “Hog Norb” are caught up in a mammoth hunt, which leads them to meet the warriors of the “Bronze Age” who live under the cruel rule of “Lord Nuth” in a fortified city. The cavemen must abandon their homes and flee for their lives – except for “Dug”, who is mistaken for a football player and a bet ensues. His team faced off against the bronze medal team. If he wins, then they can go home safely. If not – then this is a landmine for them all. Not much happens in the plot: it’s fairly predictable, and the comedy is very much in the slightly slapstick style of “Wallace and Gromit”, but to be fair, it would have been if it didn’t fall apart. For Nick Parker…. The simple characters are engaging, and the dialogue and action scenes keep the film moving smoothly at what should only be an hour or so. I did enjoy the football action replay hut – bringing back British memories of Saturday lunchtime ‘Saint & Greavsie’ style. This is not a children’s movie─that’s good news. There’s a bit of pun in the humor, and while it’s not their best work, it’s still well worth watching.
