I saw it on opening day. It was...ehhhhhhh....okay. Animation was second to none. The film is pure indisputable eye candy, and the voice acting is top notch. But the writing just feels rushed, terribly placed, full of plot holes and absurd on-the-spot plot twists that no suspension of disbelief can make acceptable, even in a movie about magic guitars and talking beetlemen. Not to mention the ending was really unsatisfying and, quite frankly, contains an appallingly bad message for kids.

The critics absolutely loved it though, as it has a 97% currently on Rotten Tomatoes, but I have no doubt had it been a live-action film it would have been torn apart and not half as well received.
