Moviebob also gave it a good review. Now I really feel like I need to see it.

I was already planning too, but another endorsement is never a bad thing.

Hah! Told you it was amazing!

Wait, it's actually good? So then like with Pacific Rim, the trailers were a huge let-down? (Genuinely asking these questions)

BB does not lie. It is an absolutely amazing movie, that is at both a subversive farce and an incitefult meta-commentary, then it goes and subverts its own meta-commentary only to double subvert itself again leading to another meta-commentary, and probably cycles around through the whole process and back again more than once along the way. These guys really know their trope-fu, inside-and-out.

Really though, there are no words to describe it that wouldn't just end up sounding pretentious. In so many way's it's not something anyone can tell you about, but something you can only experience for yourself, and if you haven't done so already you really need to.

Even if in the end you decide that there isn't any real insight and that it's all just superficial navel gazing to no discernable point, it's still a must see if only for the sheer batshit insanity the creative team was actually allowed to get away with putting on screen, especially in what is ostensibly a "kids" movie (which arguably in and of itself is the entire excuse for the plot in the first place -- layers, man, LAYERS).

"What, you mean like some kind of onion?"

No, this is ten times the movie that other one is... and I apparently need to go seek immediate psychiatric help as I seem to now be talking to myself... in TEXT.
