    Default Big Hero 6

    Anyone heard how this movie is? I have seen the previews and can't decide if it'll be good or not. I guess it's Disney so i'll trust in it, but what do you all think?

    I haven't seen it, but it doesn't seem that interesting to me.

    My 6 year old DS is very excited about it - maybe it has to do with the number 6. But I don't know a whole lot about it. We have watched several previews and I can't decide if it will be good but we will still plan to go since it's Disney and getting to be the time of year with good movie going weather.

    It's a Marvel comic book story. I suppose it must be a good enough story if they turned it into a movie. I think we will see this as there are always so few movies each year that my kids even want to see.

    I've watched a few trailers and I think it looks really fun. We're looking forward to seeing it.

    I am really looking forward to this one, which as BrerGnat said is based on a series of Marvel comic books.

    The trailers I have seen of Baymax made me laugh out loud!

    Saw it during a sneak preview. Please don't read if you don't want to know anything about the movie. I'm hiding spoilers below in white font.

    I liked it a lot and thought it was great until the half-way point. Then it got pretty cliche. I'd say the target audience is mostly kids aged 8-13 or so, but it has a wide appeal.

    SPOILERS BELOW!

    Pros: This movie is gorgeous and some of the jokes are hysterical. You care very much about the characters. Baymax steals every scene he's in. Also stay until after the credits for the extra scene -- totally worth it.

    Cons: The story seemed a bit hodge-podge and borrowed a lot from other movies. At various times I was reminded of Iron Giant, How to Train Your Dragon, Iron Man, The Incredibles and Scooby Doo. Also the villain's identity was easily guessed and at the same time kind of unforgivable, plot-wise.

    Oh, also, if you have young children, there is a death in this movie that might be troubling to them (not graphic, just sad). You might want to know that going in so you can be prepared to talk to your kids about it.


    Despite its flaws, I'd see it again.

    Saw it today with my cousin. Great movie.

    My son is pretty hyperactive and likes to root on the movie characters. But this movie had him nailed to the seat. He loved it.

    my cousin and I both liked it a lot!!!!

    not quite as good as UP or Frozen, but pretty darn close.

    Thumbs up

    We saw it today and I'd have to agree it gets a BIG !

    Very well paced, entertaining, funny in the right spots, poignant in others ... it felt like a Pixar film in many ways (albeit a slightly more frantic one).

    Lasseter produced, so I guess that's not surprising.

    Just saw it this past weekend. The story was pretty good. I was originally going to say it's a great movie for boys, but it's a great movie for kids into tech.

    We went to see it over the weekend and we all LOVED it! It kept us interested and laughing the whole time. I'm looking forward to watching it again when it comes out on disc.

    It was fantastic (and no musical numbers!! YAY!!). We also really loved the animated short "Feast" which showed before. We are dog people, so we laughed and cried. Fabulous!
