Missing Link

"Funny and adorable! Great cast and great animation!"

"The movie either needed to go much much harder on the theme of western imperialism, or give the movie over to Adelina. Pretty animation, but also fundamentally bland characters."

"Good animation and nice family movie "

"Wow! Why didn't anyone tell me how cute this movie is? I've literally met no one who's seen this movie and it's a shame cause it's actually a really sweet film with PHENOMENAL stop-motion effects. No weak links in the cast l. Saldana is the MVP. How is she great at voice acting, screen acting, and mo-cap. Is Zoe Saldana the greatest actor alive?... 🤔"

"8/10 — loved the animation, funny, great family movie! "

"This was so silly and the stop motion is hypnotizing esp in the fight scenes. Def recommend for a fun watch!!!"

"Who knew that Wolverine has a hard time working with others "

"3½/5⭐ ± The strong aspects of MISSING LINK are so tied together with its weaknesses that I can both recommend it for certain strengths, but equally acknowledge what keeps it from being a strong animated movie. For one I love most of the voice acting. Hugh Jackman, Zack Galifianakis, Timothy Oliphant, Stephen Fry, and others are extremely well done, whereas Zoe Saldana was noticeably bad. Her dramatic tones were weak, her comedic timing was off, and her accent was too fake. The opening of the story was strong. The main character, voiced by Jackman, hit that sweet spot of antihero that we love to root for, and his character worked well with the subversive take on the Yeti named Susan, voiced by Galifianakis. The way their relationship makes fun of certain story tropes is funny for awhile, but their friendship doesn't seem to build properly over the course of the narrative, and the scale of events aren't properly represented, making certain scenes feel more like a sketch comedy movie rather than a real adventure. Many of the characters's realizations happen in movie trope fashion as well, instead of steady character development with depth. It's a shame because I loved the animation; quite beautiful and funny at the same time and the world that it builds could have been explored more. This film reminded me of RANGO, but with that film I felt like they kept all these elements balanced while still developing the character and making a cool statement on The Hero's Journey. Overall the characters don't seem to have an authentic sense of history or connection and their bonds are not fully earned. Yet, when it's good, it is really good, and some of the scenes are funny enough that I forget the flat story and undercooked character development. I do like certain statements it makes about belonging, and finding one's tribe and true calling, but again for some reason it didn't seem to go very deep with me. There is still a lot to recommend here. More disappointing than bad."

"Thought this was adorable!"

"Just started it on @Netflix , few minutes into it & so far it’s good "
