The Book of Life Audience Reviews

Ehirerapp Waste of time
Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
simpsonmcqueen It's unique in its style and story plus the songs are beautiful.
Daniel Dell I personally love this film. It was really good. Not only does it capture the Day of the Dead very well, but it is both funny AND emotional. No wonder Reel FX learned after the disaster they caused with Free Birds.I think Jorge R. Gutierrez must've been influenced by Don Bluth and/or even John R. Dilworth when it comes to making this film, and that is awesome.I love the animation, the characters, the humor, the acting, a lot of things in this movie are really good.I even enjoyed the song "No Matter Where You Are". Even my mom loved this film. I find Manolo a very likable character.I highly recommend this film if you're looking for an animated Day of the Dead film, other than Disney and Pixar's Coco.
sumeet 2014 This has a touch of Spanish culture to it . The wooden animation is so vivid that you will no longer call horrible acting as 'wooden' . There is a lot of content as well as laughs . You won't hate any character by the end . My personal favourite is candle man .Songs are worth listening again . Seems , there are no limits to animation . We have seen 2D tom and jerry ; clay animation like bob the builder , jojo's circus ; then blocks animation in lego 2014 ; now puppets hold sway . Animation medium is powerful in right hands backed by a story . it will touch your heart . roles of every character have been researched in detail . educational stuff in it too presented in an enjoyable way .
senpai_sora This movie animation is quite good,but the characters are wooden and does not fit the movie that well, it's a colorful the story line and the ending is one of the best I've seen so far, although it's a bit heart breaking when the main character "Manolo Sanchez" died just to see the love of his life "Maria Posada" , but it turns out she's alive.He had to go through many obstacles that was caused by the evil god "Xibalba". They were childhood friends, but the main character Manolo is in love with maria from the beginning but there was another boy which is also in love with maria, he is known as "Walkine" the son of the hero of the town. All in all, i really liked it. I hope there will be The Book of Life 2 coming soon, because I'm looking forward to it.
