Epic (2013) Movie Review

What's up gang! Migs here, and today I am going to review the new movie "Epic"

Epic is an animated movie which was directed by Chris Wedge. This movie stars Colin Farrell as Ronin, Amanda Seyfried as Mary Katherine (a.k.a M.K.), and Josh Hutcherson as Nod.

The story (how I understood it)

M.K. when she receives the royal pod

The story goes that right after her mother passed away, M.K. was sent to live with her father in the woods. One day, as M.K. was chasing her dog whom ran to the forrest, she finds these little people/creatures whom her father was looking for all these years. She was given a pod (not sure how to spell it though) by a little dying queen and eventually turns into a little person herself. She now has the duty to protect the pod along with two leaf men and two slugs (specifically 1 slug and 1 snail) from evil.

Review
This movie was good. Not epic, but good. I personally like the story of this movie. But the plot wasn't something new. I have literally seen over 100 movies with the same plot as epic. Never the less it was still a good movie. I didn't like M.K. that much. The only reason why is because I could definitely see Bela Swan in her. She definitely acts like a "damsel in distress". On second thought, the story of epic is kinda like Twilight, and I know most of you hate Twilight, but that's how I saw it. I also don't like that the name of this movie is epic. I mean "epic"? Are you serious? That movie wasn't epic. How dare they use that word. Avengers, the Batman trilogy, and Star Wars was epic. Not this movie. But I still found this movie pretty good. It has a mix of action, romance, adventure, drama, and comedy.

All in all, I found this movie pretty good. But I don't think that this movie deserves it's name. But I hope that someday in the future, I could see an amazing animated movie that is really different from the others and deserves the name epic.
