A seriously overrated movie

It has been a while since I have seen this flick and maybe I should give it at second chance. The point is that I have never really understood why this flick became so popular. I mean, I even saw the damned thing in the movie theater when it was released and, sure, it was nice and fairly entertaining but that was about it, I’m afraid. Of course, the animation was very nice but the story was nothing really amazing. Above all, it was just full of clichés. Basically, I thought it was a typical Dreamworks production: some very nice visuals, a decent concept but, eventually, there was no depth whatsoever. I have to admit it, it is definitely not a bad movie at all but I can't see what was so good about it and why everybody was raving about this flick. Obviously, they had to come up with a sequel and the fact that this 2nd installment didn’t perform very well at the box-office is another piece of evidence in my opinion that this movie was nothing really amazing to start with. Anyway, to conclude, even though it remains a decent animated feature and it is definitely worth a look, it is actually a seriously overrated movie.
