MOVIE DESCRIPTION:

Determined to make her own path in life, Princess Merida defies a custom that brings chaos to her kingdom. Granted one wish, Merida must rely on her bravery and her archery skills to undo a beastly curse.

MY REVIEW:

When Princess Merida's mom pushes her to her limits about her life, Merida takes it upon herself to change this, and BAAAM it's curse central and Merida must find a way to undo this curse before it's too late.

Brave is now one of my favorite Disney movies. I really enjoyed this one. AAAAND OMFG the animation is Ah-maaazing. If I didn't like this movie, I'd tell you to watch it for that alone lol. But, alas, I loved this movie.Princess Merida is one tough cookie, though I wanted to slap her a time or two for being so mean to her mama. BUUUT, I guess it's that age for a young girl coming of age and wanting to be herself and not what her mother wants her to be.

This movie was really enjoyable and I think really teaches a lesson as well. LISTEN TO YA MAMA! lol. But, in all seriousness, I think if I didn't already respect and love my mom, then I would have pulled something out of this movie. The journey that Merida goes on to break this curse is one heck of a journey of blood, swear, and tears...okay, okay, just sweat and tears.

I would most definitely recommend this movie. Round up the kiddos and pop this sucker in the DVD player and hit play. OH don't forget the popcorn and the TISSUES, my mom cried when we watched this movie. But, I don't wanna spoil the movie, so I'll leave it at that.

MY REVIEW:

Ahh. Uhmm. I didn't like this movie at all. I knew going in I was going to be getting the opposite of Snow White and the Huntsman, but... I just... didn't like it. I was surprised too, seeing as Julia Roberts is in this movie.

I watched this one a while back (like a WHIIIILE back lol) with my little brother. He watched it already, but was a good sport and watched it again with me. And laughed when I was just flabbergasted by Lily Collins' eyebrows. They were like.......the stars of the movie! *sigh* I know, that was mean of me. But, I mean...they were just so.... okay, okay. I'm stopping now.

The acting? Mehh. Wasn't all too thrilled with it. Though, I did like the dwarfs. ^_^ They were pretty awesometastic. But, not awesome enough to raise my rating. The story as a whole was okay. I wasn't thrilled and I was quite bored with it. I'm not a big Snow White fan, but I think when it comes to this remake, I'll take the old school cartoon version.

I wouldn't really recommend this one if you're a big movie buff and are looking for something decent to watch. BUT, if you have kiddies and want to kill the time with a movie that isn't a cartoon or 3D for that matter, then I would say "Yeah, go on right ahead and pop this bad boy in the DVD player."
