Two more entries in this Summer’s blockbuster party hit the theaters today as the third installment in the Toy Story franchise makes its bow along with the big screen adaptation of the DC Comics macabre western hero Jonah Hex. Critics have absolutely loved Toy Story 3 so far as it has received an unprecedented 100% Fresh Rating on the Rotten Tomatoes website as of its opening day. Following is the consensus opinion on the move from that site:
Deftly blending comedy, adventure, and honest emotion, Toy Story 3 is a rare second sequel that really works.
In his review of the film, Brandon Fibbs notes that “A Pixar film is the closest thing you have to a guarantee in Hollywood. Name even one other cinematic enterprise in which you can take your seat, brazenly certain of complete fulfillment.” Kevin McCarthy of Big Daddy Kev’s Reviews ups the praise in his review: “Dare I say that Toy Story 3 is a perfect film? Pixar, yet again, delivers a brilliant film that will make you laugh, cheer and even shed a few tears. Bravo!” You can read more of the critics’ opinions at the movie’s Rotten Tomatoes page and you can see the trailer for the movie at its official website.
The much anticipated Jonah Hex has not found the same favor with critics as Toy Story 3, though, as that movie has only scraped up a measly 10% Fresh Rating from Rotten Tomatoes as of its opening day. Following is the consensus opinion:
Josh Brolin gives it his best shot, but he can’t keep the short, unfocused Jonah Hex from collapsing on the screen.
Kevin McCarthy had little good to say about the movie in his review as he notes that “The issues that happened behind the camera, including the original directors leaving the project, are extremely obvious in the final product. The film is a complete disaster.” What little praise the film could garner reflected what Peter Sobczynski of eFilmCritic.com had to say in his review: “You could do worse than this and if you have been going to the movies this summer with any regularity, you most likely already have.” You can read more of the critics’ opinions at the movie’s Rotten Tomatoes page and you can see the trailer for the movie at its official website.
