when hubby and i consider what movie to watch on our next movie date, there are only two factors: 1) is it something both of us would want to watch?, and 2) is it worth watching in the movie theater? (sorry, Hollywood – but there is such a thing as torrents. haha)
so when we saw the trailer for the movie “legend of the guardians: the owls of ga’hoole”, after some deliberation we decided to just download it. i wanted to see it in the theater because i love animated flicks, but hubby prefers to watch suspense/action films so we just compromised. hubby downloaded it for me.

we finally got to watch it last night – me, hubby and franco. and boy, was it a treat! anybody who dismisses it as just another kiddie flick simply because it’s in animation is really missing out on an awesome movie. it’s got everything: great story, “aww” moments, terrific action (who knew owl-to-owl combat could be so engaging?), a competent director (zack snyder, who directed another of my favorites, 300), and some of the most visually stunning scenes i’ve ever seen in a movie – animated or not.

there wasn’t a single moment when i felt bored. even franco’s attention was so caught up, he reacted in all the right places. he almost finished the entire movie without getting impatient or jittery, a feat almost unheard of for him at his young and active age.
the only complaint i have is that it ended too soon for me. although given the ending, i’m hoping for another installment coming soon. if ever there’ll be a part two, i’m definitely going to line up to watch it in the theater.
little eglantine - i want one of these! hehe
this is one movie that the whole family will love. but don’t just take my word for it – you can watch the trailer HERE.
