Strictly average movie
... View MoreFun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
... View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
... View MoreThe film may be flawed, but its message is not.
... View MoreThis movie has some unforgettable moments in it that makes it so memorable. I won't spoil anything but some of the scenes were so hilarious I will always keep thinking about it. Also a plus for their effects, they did the best what they could :-). The only thing that could've been bit better were some of story parts. During the middle of the film it became a bit boring and some parts were totally illogical but of course you can live with it because of the comedy part. It might have been even better if they explained the cause why they started attacking humans but of course that adds more mystery to the movie.I would give it a 7.5!
... View MoreRise of the Animals (2011) I could not stop laughing though out this movie, not cause the jokes were funny but the movie is self was so awful, on so many levels , it was about Hilariousness bad.It was very bloody and there lots of bloody moments in this. Which is the good thing.The rest of the movie was just.....The animals attack were so bad, they are stuffed up animals, attacking people.If not stuffed up there are some really bad effects, it's had to be some of the worst effect, I have ever seen.which make this movie even more laughable.The acting really horrendous from every one.I swear, I don't what to rate this, 1 out of 10 for being one of the worst movies ever or 10 out of 10, for been one the funniest movies I've seen.
... View MoreI've read a couple of the reviews here and anyone expecting a scary movie from a film where the DVD covers shows a Squirrel nibbling on an Eyeball and has a tagline along the lines of "Bambi DOesn't Want A F***ing Salad!" is far more inane than the accusations they hurl at the film makers. Rise Of The Animals is a fast paced ultra low budget spoof with intentionally bad special effects and some sophomoric jokes that come off better than most first time horror comedies. It draws it's inspirations from seventies "B" classics like Frogs and Day Of The Animals and bad CGI epics on The SYfY CHannel like Sharktopus and Mega Croc. In fact I can heartily say the rise of the animals is far more entertaining than either of those films even with it's home made bad video game CGI. There's not much of a plot. A virginal Pizza Delivery guy stumbles upon an all girl sleep over where a girl from Canada whom he has had the hots for is staying and after a night of premature eruptus first time sex he wakes up to find the hot chick gone and the world gone crazy with violent cutesie critters. There isn't anything realistic or serious in the film and unlike many horror comedies it doesn't try too hard. It just gets as stupid as it wants to and goes on to the next scene. To it's credit it's nicely filmed,paced,scored and edited reminding me a lot of John Landis's first effort called Schlock. This was made by teens and folks in their 20's for under ten grand so knock back a couple of cold ones and have some fun and take it under consideration that the 7 I gave this pertains to it's genre only. I wouldn't grade it on the same scale I would Chinatown or Toy Story 3.
... View MoreOkay I gave it a 2 because it got me fooled. And I laughed! But not from the comedy. I laughed at how horrible this movie was made. Perhaps they intended this to be so stupid and faulty to entertain us. 30-40 seconds into the movie you will see what I mean. There was this spotted cat going berserk in a kitchen, lady holding a frying pan in fear. The cat suddenly jumps on her, and wham! She hits the cat (that looked like an all white teddy bear) that slams into the sink. Couldn't they just have tried to paint the stuffed thing with black spots to look like it was the cat? I can do better special effects and props in my backyard without breaking a sweat. So maybe I'm missing out on something about modern comedy. It's an adventure. The adventure of your lifetime getting ripped off on this foolish story. Horror. Oh the horrors of films made like this. I thought movies made in the Philippines were utterly horrible. Great work guys. You actually made Philippine movies look better. If you got nothing else on a Saturday night, and are prepared for the worse entertainment in the history of film making, suspend disbelief and just drink till your eyes get sucked in your skull and can't finish the movie? Then this is one of those movies out there just for you. Oh yeah, there are more of this I can assure you.
