Epic




Blue Sky Productions has brought us many great and easily recognizable movies. Such as Rio, Robots or the Ice Age films. Epic could have followed in the footsteps of these movies, but it didn't. With stars like Steven Tyler, Amanda Seyfried, Josh Hutcherson, Beyoncè Knowles, or even Pitbull, the movie and plot should have been better. To me, the entire ending was very predictable. I even guessed it at the beginning of the film. An example of this is when it was obvious that Queen Tara would give her powers to her biggest fan, a little flower girl. The ideas had no real adventure to it and the plot was boring. As if the writers were making it up as they went along while writing. I also don't understand the title, Epic. Nothing about the movie was really "epic". While the word epic means heroic or big characteristics, the movie has none. I give this movie a rating of about 5.5/10. Keep it in your pocket. You shouldn't spend your money on seeing this movie in the theater. Just wait 'till it comes out on DVD or see it at a friend's house.
