From The Superb To The Crap - Movies Seen In 2016 (284 movies items)"This movie tells the story of a young boy, named Kubo, who must find a magical suit of armour, owned by his late father, in order to defeat the vengeful spirits of his grandfather and evil aunts. It's received almost unanimously positive reviews from critics, but that didn't stop it from bombing at the Box Office. I think it's an OK kids' flick, but it's also severely overrated. I love the movie's visuals and it's creative (and pretty imaginative) story; but the movie is also extremely slow-pace"

2016: Movies that I see (130 movies items)"08/29/16 Directed by: Travis Knight A very, very generic family film that also looks fucking incredible. It balances out to be alright. "
2016 Movies Seen (106 movies items)"The animation was terrific and the main three characters were well done however the villains and overall story behind it all wasn't so. Felt generic and not well thought out. Certainly not a film for children though as it will both scare and bore them."

2016: Films I've Watched in August (28 movies items)"First watched in the theater 8/19/2016 Beautiful animation, creative character designs, and it comes with a story that deals with more mature and darker themes then most animated films today. Laika does it again by bringing us this fantasy adventure film that might tread on familiar ground but entertains and sucks you in. While managing to balance light hearted comedy with darker tonal shifts without being too jarring. In a time where 3D CG films dominate animated films it is so refreshing t"
Movies the giraffe watched in 2016: August (30 movies items)"First viewing - Aug. 21st I had family stuff going on all weekend, so I didn't get many movies watched. However since this had just come out & is my most anticipated film of the year I insisted on going & took the kiddo & my mom along. All three of us enjoyed it. Laika has made another stellar piece of art with Kubo, full of scenes that inspire wonder and awe especially when considering they're made with stop-motion work. The story may not be original but it's certainly a fresh take on the tal"

2016 Movies - Worst to Best IMO... (268 movies items)"Fascinating non-traditional animated film about death and memory. Features 'strong' traditional Eastern values--about a boy who non necessarily 'seeks' as 'runs' from the film's ultimate conflict. Charlize is great as the monkey, as is McConaughey as the beetle. "
July to August 2016 Tomatometer Predictions (21 movies items)"Tomatometer Guess: 91%. Laika Animation (Coraline, ParaNorman, & The Boxtrolls) returns for what is certain to be another fine addition to their library of films. Actual Score: 94%. With beautiful motion capture animation, great action set pieces, and a decidedly mature story, Kubo and The Two Strings is easily one of the best films of the year and easily the best film that Laika has made so far."
