I saw 'Atlantis'...

[Amber]

...and all I can say is bleh. I must say that I was sorely and
completely disappointed. In my opinion, it's one of the WORST Disney
movies to come out in quite awhile. Why you ask? Well, here ya go...

The story, to begin with, was way too long for an hour and a half
movie. I remember thinking about a third of the way into the movie that
it was moving veeeery fast. Because it moved so fast, no enough time
was spent on the various parts of the story. Second, the character
development was LOUSY. Awful. We never get to know any of the
characters at all. The requisite "bad guy" turned into a bad guy way
too late and didn't seem real at all. Third, can we say plot hole? Plot
holes everywhere! The biggest was at the part where Kida (as the
Atlantis power source) was herded into the metal container. If she
currently is a powerful being, why was she complacently going along?
When Milo "frees" her, she explodes into power but why didn't she do
this before? And if she has so much power, nothing should be able to
hold her. And lastly, I must say that I wasn't pleased with the
animation. It was okay, but nothing special. The triangle fingernails
really bugged me for some reason.

I must awknowledge that I had high expectations for this film and the
extreme disappointment might stem from that. But I still feel that this
is one of Disney's worst films. Did anyone who saw it like it? Maybe
I'm just way off base. My dad and bro saw it with me and liked it okay.
They thought I was crazy...maybe I am?
