Big Hero 6 (2014) (mini-review++)

(If you’re curious, my review process. It’s also pasted at the end of this post. I don’t believe in Rotten Tomatoes. I just believe in me.)

(***all-purpose SPOILER ALERT*** there may be some in this review)

acting 8

directing 8

effects 10

editing 10

writing 9

SW SCORE: 45

4.5 out of 5 🐙

++

Gorgeous animation, a novel world, and an original take on classic examination of what makes something alive. If you’re not absolutely charmed by the animation and joyous ending, you are a monster. Just kidding. Beast from Beauty and the Beast is a monster. He would be disarmed by this movie. There is no need to insult monsters. The world is a dark place. Let Big Hero 6 brighten your day.

(1) Shark Wrighter (SW) Score: Based on a sum of 5 sub-scores (acting, directing, writing/story, effects: cinematography &/or animation &/or effects, editing) with 1 being terrible and 10 being terrific.

(2) Octopuses (0-5 🐙, with 5 being fantastic and 0 being feces)

(3) Octopuses are my unquantifiable feeling…not that SW score is scientific…but this one is even less so

(4) ++ This optional section includes any incredibly *brilliant observations that don’t fit into simple quantitative slices like the scores and octopuses *(they are likely NOT brilliant)
