Hello Guys This is my first movie review ever so don't be too harsh. I mostly go for the entertainment value not the indepth which I may delve if I have the time. All of this is opinionated. I'am no English major so the grammar isn't that great.
Big Hero 6
Big hero 6 is a superhero movie which revolves around the a boy named hiro hamada and also his relationship with his brother and baymax.
Summarizing my view of this film, the plot of the film is solid and some of the characters were great. The film felt generic at time but will talk about that later. the protagonist of the movie ,hiro, is somewhat more interesting compared to other protagonist of this genre. Think of him as a young tony stark, however the difference between him and tony stark is his relationship with his brother. The time spent in establishing the relationship of hiro and his older brother tadashi was excellent but I wished it could have been longer. They should have delayed his death to like the middle of the movie.
Another positive point of this movie is Baymax. His basically made the movie better than your average super hero movie.His interactions with hiro were both hilarious and heart warming. His character design was unique which makes him a very memorable character.
The overall theme was consistent through which I would say is about how to deal with death and loss. One scene that really hit was the scene where hiro removed tadashi's programming which subsequently made Baymax into a monster. The sheer contrast was very suprising. It hit me harder than the "death scene" of baymax which was kind of forced . It was very heart breaking for hiro to symbolically to throw away his brother's memories leaving only a vengeful beast which manifested in baymax. This one scene made me more invested in the film.
The bad things about this film where the generic team and the generic villain.
The super hero team besides the protagonist had absolutely no development. Even their entrance was very awkward. They had no personality besides their overstated quirks. Adding more scenes with the protagonist and the team like talking about tadashi would have been good to add to the film. Another bad thing was the generic villain which you could a spot a mile away. Another problem with the villain is because he wasn't developed that much. Adding scenes with the villain and hiro could have him more likable as a villain and would set him apart from all the others, unfortunately this never came to be.
One last thing, everybody keeps comparing this to how to train your dragon. The overall theme and the characters are widely different. The only thing similar here is the flying sequences.
Big Hero 6 i would say a 7.5.
A good film however with painfully obvious weaknesses
I would give my detailed review next week
Sorry for the grammatical error that is surely in these review :))
After my detailed review next week, I would do a commentary about fairy tales and what they really mean. I got this idea because how people reacted to Cinderella the new movie coming out
My next movie review would I deem to be the worst miyazaki film. so please don't hate :))
