BIG HERO 6 REVIEW!!!
Wow.
About a week ago, I was fortunate enough to watch "Big Hero 6", 3 days before many people and at the same time as the Red Carpet Premiere that was hosted in LA. Either way, watching this film was an experience. So guys, here's my review of "Big Hero 6":
If you haven't heard of "Big Hero 6", please view the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckAGKzTKsvw
Quick note: If you are the very few people who has read the Marvel Comic "Big Hero 6", you will already tell the characters look incredibly different. This isn't a big deal as one would expect because like I had stated in the previous sentence... not many people actually read the comics. So The character concept art for the movie was very loose and I personally like it that way.
BEFORE:
(I don't think they wanted Honey Lemon to be that sexy) (Also Marvel owns this image)
AFTER:
(nerdy Honey Lemon is cooler anyways) (Disney Image)
Character Development: Our main characters are Hiro & Baymax (the one next to Baymax on the left in the picture) and he is the one that we focus on for the majority of the film. I like their relationship a lot and this film really relies heavily on them growing as a pair. Hiro did grown as an individual and Baymax... well... he's a robot but together, they were the heart of this film.
Unfortunately though, the secondary characters, Fred, Wasabi, GoGo and Honey Lemon are placed on the sidelines heavily. The movie focuses hard on Hiro and Baymax and i loved every moment of their screen time but I wanted to learn more about the other characters. You get more of an idea of who Fred is but everyone else, not so much. Maybe eventually. (Sequel maybe?)
You get a lot during 108mins that this film is and it's great. The visuals trump anything we've seen before. The car chase scene in the film, is amazing to look at. Disney has yet again gained strides against their competition. Many times during this film, I was laughing for long periods of time and other times I was holding back tears trying hard to not cry during emotional moments and there are a good amount of emotional moments.
There were times where I couldn't help but smile and those two moments include: this bright moment when Hiro can't believe he's flying with Baymax and the grin he has on his face matches the smile I would make if I could do what he could do as a 14 year old girl and the Stan Lee cameo (YES THERE IS ONE) is amazing and worth the biggest high five to the people at Walt Disney.
TLDR; portion right now:
Pro: Great Duo, Visually beautiful, Tugged at my heat strings and my laughing side.
Con: Simple story, supporting characters were left behind, you knew who the bad guy was from the beginning.
Overall: 9/10 (it would have been 8 but THAT STAN LEE CAMEO THOUGH)
