Film Review: Epic

Genre:  Animation, Adventure, Family 
 
Cert: U cert.
 
Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
 
Sex & Nudity: The queen and the leader of the Leaf Men have several suggestive encounters at the beginning of the film suggesting they are involved.

Violence & Gore: Tiny froglike men known as Boggins dress in the bones and skins of dead rodents and animals. The froglike men fight with each other and the Leaf Men.
The froglike men fire arrows that cause ugly callouses to form on trees and cause plants to wither and die. The leader of the Boggins has a staff that kills instantly. It is used in several instances.
A bat is turned to a skeleton mid-flight.

Profanity: General name calling (idiot, flat face, stomper)  

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: None
 
Frightening/Intense Scenes:  The entire movie, save a few parts, is dark and foreboding. Several scenes show tiny men and gray ominous creatures in battle and at war. Closeups on the villains faces drive home the feeling. This may be disturbing for some children
 
Story: Young Mary Katherine (M.K.) returns to her eccentric scientist father's home, but his all-consuming quest to discover a tiny civilization in the neighboring forest drives them apart. However, M.K. soon finds herself shrunken down by Queen Tara of that forest who was mortally wounded by the putrefying Boggans, and charged to deliver a pod bearing the new Queen to safety. Together with a veteran Leafman warrior, two goofy mollusks and a young maverick, M.K. agrees to help. As the villainous Boggan leader, Mandrake closes in, M.K. and her new friends must draw on the best of themselves together and discover what they have to save their world

Likes : The acting is really superb and all the actors have great chemistry together: Amanda Seyfried, Josh Hutcherson, Christoph Waltz, Colin Farrell, Aziz Ansari, and Jason Sudekis are terrific, while Beyoncé is the best of all. She is a real acting triumph in the film, and her performance is so critical in the film, as Queen Tara will do anything to ensure the safety of the forest and the lives of her friends, and that she leaves M.K. a very important mission to do her behalf when she couldn't. She brings a lot of integrity, passion, and heart to her role and helps carry the film with spectacular grace. This is one animated film that just spell the title of it own movie epic, its a great family movie that your kids would love as well as the adult's with it funny one liners & classic animated humour you really can't go wrong with this film as it has the epic adventure feel to it as well. This is one film recommended for all the family to watch.
 
Dislikes : Nothing really wrong with this film really it dose depend on weather you like animated film so this wont be for everyone.
 
Overall :Epic adventure for all the family, Funny classic animated humour that kid & adult will love, worth watching
 
Rating: 4.8 out of 5 for entertainment / 10 out of 10 for storyline/animated adventure
