Kubo And the Two Strings: GO WATCH IT!! · 1:22am Aug 29th, 2016
"If you must blink, do it now..."
Those are the first words heard in the opening of the film, and from that moment on I could hardly close my eyes.
People constantly complain that Hollywood's out of ideas...
And then, something like this magnificent stop-motion animated film comes out (this also applies to "The Little Prince", only out in limited release) and practically no one goes to see it, despite its originality, creativity, and magnificent fantasy storytelling.
I cannot give this movie enough praise... and I can't talk too much about it without spoiling details.
I will only say, pay careful attention to everything you may see or hear, no matter how unusual it may seem. If you look away, you may not believe what the story tells you...
For any who long for the days of magnificent tales of fantasy heroes who endured great loss and pain, and rose above from the strength of the character and not merely their powers, you must see this movie.
It's sad when garbage like EQG gets all the attention and sequels while other movies with much more originality and heart put into it gets left behind.
4179648 The most revolting this to me is that gutter-trash like "Sausage Party" is doing better. It's just filth with an atheist message attached, and it's praised for basically stating, "Hurr durr, there's no god and stuff." with lots of adolescent-level attempts at humor only the lowest common denominator of human being will find funny as its the only type of humor they're capable of comprehending.
And I mean this, as I've met such people, and movies like "Clue" move too fast and are too subtle for them to grasp the jokes... primarily because they lack the language comprehension skills.
