The Angry Birds Movie - IT GOT A 42% ON ROTTEN TOMATOES HAHAHAHAH

[Melkor]

For those brave souls out there who actually bothered to see the movie, feel free to leave your thoughts about it here. I think I'll just rent it on redox when it comes out on dvd, cuz I don't want to waste money going to a theater to see it with a bunch of shitty children

Also, it's got a pretty bad rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Looks like one of these movies:

 

[Someone in a Tree]

Even at 42%, it still has the highest RT score of any videogame adaptation.

 

[Magnum Dong]

Even at 42%, it still has the highest RT score of any videogame adaptation.

The highest is Final Fantasy: the Spirits Within at 44%, but second-highest is still a feat in its own. Considering the average video game adaptation dips below 25% I'm impressed Angry Birds only has a mediocre score instead of an outright abysmal one.

Unrelated: Apparently people are theorizing this movie's a Fascist allegory for the European refugee crisis. Crikey.

I heard about that from my poltard neighbor a while back when the script hit the onlines. I hadn't really thought about it much and had assumed the movie came and went until I saw a billboard recently.

People have also theorized that there are references to 9/11 and the Cologne attacks.

There's all kinds of weird ass interpretations.

I refuse to believe it could be worse than the aggressively dull Spirits Within, but I'd rather not spend the time or money it would take to find out.

Spirits Within at least has some artistic merit, it really pushed the envelope on what could be done with cgi.

For the amount of marketing they sunk into this thing, it might end up being a bomb

Postmodernism needs to die in a fire.

 

[P.A]

I heard some weirdass shit about the movie, like the main villain being called King Mudbeard and the pigs living in a rich, walled off city.

Eh, Angry Birds is a well known property, so likely not.

 

[Oglooger]

The movie was alright. it went by pretty fast and the pacing felt awkward because I was late to arrive to the stream of it.
I might give it another shot once I have enough money to actually see it in theaters and have someone to watch it with.

 

[Trombonista]

It looks okay. It's probably not that bad, just mediocre. I love the games, so I might see the movie.

 

[TheMightyMonarch]

Still a better score than Batman V. Superman

 

[The Lawgiver]

There's all kinds of weird ass interpretations.

All the birds in this movie are flightless birds. Kiwis are flightless birds. This website is called Kiwi farms. The protagonist birds are generally angry. People are angry. Users on kiwi farms are known for being angry. the pigs are green. Kiwi farms logo is green. the birds fight off the pigs. The great eagle pisses around and does nothing. Our Idle, Chris, shits himself and does nothing. This movie is an analogue for Kiwis' cannibalistic nature.
Clearly.
It's time to cyberbully your children.
It's time to MAKE them see the angry birds MOVIE.

Haven't seen the full film myself, but I've unintentionally seen most of the film via "leaked footage" and I can say it's generally good. Not super amazing, but considering how They made a coherent family comedy film about a popular game series that's kinda infamous for possibly knocking off an older freeware game and merchandising out the ass, I'm okay with this.

Spoiler: There's minor sub-plot about the red one murdering a lawn ornament

Maybe I'll rent it on redbox or something when it goes on DVD to see what I missed.

EDIT: Woah, holy month old reply necromancy Batman! Somehow this thread was still on the front page.
