I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

When you have Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov as producers, you know you're in for a treat! This is no exception. Stunning animation and cute characters highlight this sci-fi action adventure. The film appeals to a more mature demographic, though, although animated, as younger kids might not always understand or follow the plot. As with most animated films, this is best viewed on Blu Ray.

In World obsessed with 'evolution' this movie in a quirky wonderful way confirms a sometimes vague feeling that all of us have or have once had. There is something unique about each of us but it cannot be expressed until the moment that we find in ourselves who we are truly. In this movie's desolate setting, it makes ask ourselves, because of it's seemingly benign and unassuming manner, a question to the child inside.it connects and asks whether this is or this is not a world for the purpose of selfish fulfillment and either way what this might bring.I feel this movie speaks about another level of being and warns against creating with today's vast powers (surprisingly pertinent) for the purpose of satisfying ego versus creating something within ourselves that can have a lasting value in the way it connects us to each other.I thoroughly enjoyed the quality of this picture and it's message.And i hope that each and every one of you will find the time experience it in your own manner, cheers.

9 was overall a very entertaining movie, sadly though it wasn't that good.The main thing that held this movie down was it's story, it's about a rag doll called 9 who awakens in a house and goes to explores a mostly live-less post-apocalyptic world. But don't led has name fool you because he's the one, and he's is destined to save the world. In his journey he meets some other rag dolls, he meets a big terrifying monster and he discovers what happened to the world. Just like 9 being the one the story about the apocalypse is also very cliché: humans make robots and robots go rogue and kill the humans.Another big thing that irritated me about this movie was it's pacing, the first and last part of this movie was were in my opinion a bit to short and could've been fleshed out some more.The characters in this movie were also a bit cliché(to name a few: the one, the love-interest, the muscle, the best friend) but they were enjoyable to watch and all served their purpose.This film also doesn't really know who it's target audience is, it's probably to scary for children but it's to simplistic for adults.Overall I would give this movie a 6,3 because of it was very cliché, had some pacing issues but the characters and setting were interesting enough to keep me entertained.

I remember my brother and I being so stoked for this movie as kids. When it finally came out on DVD we were disappointed. Years later I watched it again, and found I was even more disappointed. 9 had a fantastic idea. I wanted to love it so much because of this. I mean, sackboys surviving in the apocalypse? That's pretty original. I've never heard of anything like it. Unfortunately, it was unable to carry out it's fantastically original idea. The story was lacking and the plot was quite formulaic, it felt like Shane Acker had a good idea and nothing more. No direction or idea of how to push these characters through 79 minutes without it getting too boring. Which brings me to the characters themselves. The characters are cliché, formulated around the average cast of characters that are used in a lot of movies. The badass female, the big strong man, the greedy king, the geek, the cripple, the neutral lead, etc. There's really not a whole lot in terms of characters, and although I found some points of peril (specifically near the end) to be rather distressing or sad at points, I never felt like I truly knew or cared about the characters. Overall, 9 was a cool movie. With a fantastic idea, an equally fantastic artistic design, and enough character development for you to care at least a little, it's worth checking out. Unfortunately it suffered from unoriginality in plot and relatively flat characters. That's not to say that formulaic movies are bad, but some just make it too obvious, and this was one of them. I give it extra points for its idea and art, but when it comes down to it, 9 is severely lacking. I would've said its nothing special but it truly is special, it just didn't know it. I'd love to see a re- imagining/reboot of this movie in the future, but chances are that won't happen. Check it out though, it's not great, but it's worth a watch.
