Rise of the Guardians

Recently I saw the new animated movie Rise of the Guardians. Starring Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Jude Law and directed by Peter Ramsey. I must say that I really enjoyed it, it was a pretty fun adventure, with great performances by the cast and it told a pretty good story, even though it wasn't exactly the most original thing in the world.

The story mainly centers around Jack Frost, the guy whose responsible for pretty much anything to do with winter. The movie is about him finding out what his purpose is and why he was given the powers that he's been given. As this is going on, the villain of the movie Pitch, voiced by Jude law comes back into the picture and threatens the children of the world. So Jack needs to team up with Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and the Sandman to help stop him.

As I mentioned before, the story isn't the most original thing in the world but it's pretty entertaining. The movie moves along at a pretty quick pace so you're never really given time to be bored with it. I will say this though, the more sentimental moments with Jack are pretty heartfelt and the movie does have a pretty good message to tell by the end of it.

Technically the movie was great. I saw it in 3-D although it's not necessary to enjoy the movie by any means even though it looked great. The animation was beautiful and it was a pleasure to watch everything that was going on on screen.

All in all I would say go see it. It was a really fun movie that I thought was pretty creative even though the story wasn't super strong. The movie looked great, was well acted and it was fun. Go check it out.
