DVD-Review: Rise of the Guardians
Dreamworks has had a lot of success with their animated movies and so far I loved almost all of their movies with some exceptions. I had high hopes for Rise of the Guardians, but it turned out that their collaboration with children’s books author William Joyce is one of their rare failures. While the movie has an amazing concept, great characters and voices and dazzling visuals, the story is disappointingly weak and a surprising amount of violence makes this feel not like a Dreamworks movie at all. In today’s somewhat longer-than-usual review, I tried to get to the bottom of what went wrong with Rise of the Guardians. This final joint DVD release from Dreamworks and Paramount is, however, absolutely fine and while some extras from the Blu-Ray are missing, the most interesting material has been ported over.
