Brave was mediocre and kinda boring

Sooo sorry for the late review, my life has been kinda crazy and a bit over whelming but everything is back to normal..so I saw Brave opening day at the century theatre, in 2d format. When I first saw the trailer for brave back in March, I was soo stoked for this film because it look different and the trailer made the film look so exciting and daring. But honestly I was very bored and somewhat disappointed! I really thought Pixar learned their lesson with Cars 2...which by far is the worse Pixar movie to date!...Just saying. I thought that Brave would be up there with Up,
Ratatouille, The Incredibles, Cars and all three Toy Story films...but it wasn't even close. I guess what made these films soo great was overall message and the emotion behind it. All of these films left me wanting more where as with Brave I was excited when the end credits started to roll. Movie trailers are somewhat deceiving. The film wasn't all bad there are some great one liners and the three little brothers were my
favourite they were soo funny. All the scotland jokes were very funny in a adult/ dark comedy way. Visually the film looked wonderful! I loved what they did with Merida hair...her hair was a character within it's self. And the cinematography looked amazing. I think they cared more about how the film looked then the actual story. I really laughed a lot but the overall message of the film was very weak compared to the other Pixar films. And the plot threw me left field. By the way, the short animated film at the beginning of brave, which was called La Luna I enjoyed actually more than Brave. La Luna affected me emotionally more then brave. I was actually surprised to find out that the short didn't win at the oscars this year because it was clever and stunning. Brave didn't have enough action! The story reminded me of little red riding hood, except there were no wolves just bears. I am really starting to loose my faith in Pixar now. SERIOUSLY!!!!! Go back to the basics!!! Re-watch all of your past films and figure out what's missing! The archery in brave was pretty exciting. After seeing this film, Hunger games, and Avengers lol now I really want to take up archery. Because honestly its soo epic and daring. So the film wasn't terrible and it wasn't great. It was kinda dull. If you haven't seen it yet don't waste your time...just wait for the DVD.
