Okay, finally saw Brave last night, and I can't help but feel slightly underwhelmed. Fairly, Pixar do set very high standards, which may be one of the reasons why I didn't quite feel this movie.
Okay, first of all, is the main character Merida. I did not at any point feel any kind of connection. No emotional tear, no sense of... just nothing. I thought she was annoying, to say the least.
Secondly, the story is just boring. Boring, clichéd and it just felt divided. The pace was atrocious, and no amount of CGI can cover up the fact that the story was mediocre at best.
Thirdly, no villain. I don't know about you, but I need a good villain. Sadly, Merida turned out to be the movie's only real villain. Pretty much the cause for the entire chaos.
Gaaaah! I need for Pixar to step up their game after a couple of, well let's face it, mediocre movies.
