Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
MJB784 It was visually stunning, but confusing to follow. There was too much explained where I had trouble understanding what the characters were talking about and some of the pacing dragged. Way too much story, which I sometimes like, but this time, the visuals were overwhelming.
cinemajesty Movie Review: "Kubo And The Two Strings" (2016)Director Travis Knight coming from a long line from hand-made stop-motion animation work, utilizes great patience and a golden eye for detail in this outstanding animation movie, which deserved a greater audience.Actress Charlize Theron, given voice the main-character-guiding "Monkey", sharing great beats in Japanese anime-entertaining décor as supporting vocal guests range from supreme actors Matthew McConaughey, Rooney Mara as vicious, action beat playing characters of the "Sisters" and Ralph Fiennes as leading title-given "Kubo", vocally played by talented Art Parkinson has solid beats, carrying this beautiful animated motion picture together with Charlize Theron.Another screenplay originally-received by screenwriter Marc Haimes alongside gifted co-writers, making director Travis Knight shine as the filmmaker is about to present his first live-action feature with an "Transformers" spin-off "Bumblebee" in December 2018 for Paramount Pictures.FAZIT: Picture approved (pretty)Cinemajesty Entertainments 2018
Emilio Gelado The best: A very simple story but told in a masterly way. It shows that American animation can come out of the Pixar / Disney duality.The worst: Animation at certain times has fails.
Michael Ledo The story is a cosmic myth. Kubo and his mother escape and hide from her sisters and father who took his eye. They live in a cave and do not go out at night. Kubo is a street performer who utilizes magic and origami to tell long tales. With an ailing mother, Kubo wonders out and the epic story begins as a quest for a sword, shield, and helmet. His companions are a monkey and a beetle. I found the story to be delightful and funny. Charlize Theron as Monkey and Matthew McConaughey as Beetle did great character voices with well written lines.
