Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The main thing you need for a good animated film is story. Quite often that's missing. Rise Of The Guardians succeeds massively here.Brilliant story idea really well executed.The other essentials parts were spot on too: cute characters were cute, funny bits were funny, the baddie was very creepy and the dark scary scenes added great contrast.Will definitely watch again.A satisfying 9 out of 10 for me

The movie begins with Jack Frost floating up from a lake. He rises toward the moon. Next thing you know, Jack Frost gets his magical staff. He plays with it and realizes it's power. He questioned why he was there and what he was suppose to do. He didn't get an answer. Learning to fly amused him. He was happy! He then walked into a small village and started being friendly with the people but he doesn't realize they can't hear him until one of them walks through him. That's when the moon told him his name was Jack Frost. That was all he was ever told.The next scenes show North noticing an imbalance on the globe. He immediately sets off the alarm to call all of his fellow Guardians to the North Pole to have a meeting because the children are in danger. Soon Sandy, Tooth, and Bunny appear. North tells them about the darkness that is looming. They don't believe him. They argue and then the Man in the Moon appears. He tells them that it is time to get a new guardian. It is revealed that it is Jack Frost. Bunny is in total disagreement. Jack Frost is known for his wild antics and his ornery attitude. Bunny doesn't believe he can protect the children from the danger that is coming.Santa sends his helpers to grab Jack and they transport him to the North Pole. Jack is confused and is trying to figure out his place. They announce that he is now a Guardian. Jack shuts down the celebration because he doesn't want to be a Guardian. Tooth tries to explain the job of protecting the children and then they tell him about Pitch coming to hurt all the children and all their innocent beliefs. That isn't convincing enough so North decides to give him a tour of the North Pole. North's pep talk gives Jack something to think about. Jack agrees to help just this once to defeat Pitch to save the children from terror. Pitch decides to take on each character one by one so the children will stop believing in them. He starts with Tooth and then moves on to making Sandy disappear. Tooth becomes very weak to battle, so all that is left is North, Bunny, and Jack. Pitch then ruins Easter so Bunny then becomes too weak to battle. The final battle is between Jack and Pitch. Jack enlists some neighborhood kids that still believe in the Guardians. Their strength helps Jack and together they defeat Pitch. Pitch ends up being forced to go back under the bed where he is trapped and forced to stay away from all of the children.The lessons in this movie are simple. There is always going to be good and evil in life. As a child, you believe in both. As an adult, good and evil are still a part of life but in very different ways. One can always choose to believe in good or evil. Evil will take away happiness every time. The theme of this movie shows how believing in good can make your life wonderful.

I didn't see this in theatres when it first came out, I actually got it as a gift from my aunt in March 2013. When I watched it, I was stunned! I found myself engaged by the action scenes, charmed by Jack Frost's backstory, laughing at the jokes, and dazzled by the animation. Although occasionally the story relies too much on action and it can be predictable at times, this film rocks! The elves, yetis and fairies are cute and funny, as well as Hugh Jackman's hilarious performance as the Easter Bunny. Whenever Jack Frost and Bunny argue, it's priceless. Jack's backstory is fully fleshed-out and develops his character entirely. The visual effects and character animation are downright beautiful. Also, I have this on Blu-ray 3D and the 3D effects are some of the best I've seen in an animated film. Rise Of The Guardians is an underrated masterpiece that should've been seen by more people, given it's known as a box office disappointment.

I seen this in the cinemas 3 years ago with my cousin and I thoroughly enjoyed it.I happened to be watching it last night on TV as it was on so on to the review.Rise Of The Guardians is a Dreamworks Animation movie that tells the tale of Jack Frost(voiced by Into The Woods star Chris Pine)who isn't believed in with the kids as they don't know him as much as the other guardians. One day however and he happens to be chosen by the guardians and he teams up with Santa Clause(voiced by Alec Baldwin with a Russian Accent who is from 30 Rock),Tooth Fairy(voiced by The Great Gatsby's Isla Fisher),the Sandman who doesn't talk,and an Aussie Easter Bunny(voiced by X-Men star and Aussie Actor Hugh Jackman). Together they try and defeat the evil bogeyman named Pitch Black(voiced by The Holiday's Jude Law) who like Jack isn't believed in either and wants the rest of the guardians to suffer just like him. So can the guardians make the kids believe in them and stop Pitch Black from ruining the children's dreams and imaginations forever?Bottom line I enjoyed it the first time I watched it and again last night after 3 years watching it last. The story was very well done,the voice acting is great(it was nice to hear Hugh Jackman use his own accent and not to be putting on another accent as he doesn't use his own accent that much in his films)but the real surprise was Alec Baldwin as Santa Clause with a Russian accent. He really nailed it as his charcther in the movie. Chris Pine sounded very old for Jack Frost but he did a good job since this was his first animated debut.If you love animation like me and want a feel-good movie to watch then check it out. Roll on ROTG II.
