Toy Story 3 Review
There are no spoilers in this review.
Okay, so, I got to see Toy Story 3 in 3D for free because I won this contest thing.... I was scared at first because I didn't want them to ruin it. That's why I did as much as I could to not look up any reviews or see what the scores it was receiving on review sites. I am pleased to announce that this movie not only is the best movie out of them all, but it was the best movie of the past 10 years. It started great, stayed true to it's nature, added more without ruining anything, was amazingly funny, had grown-up jokes
, and had the best movie ending that I have ever seen in my entire life. It was that good.
IMDb gives it an average of 9.5/10 from 1,701 user reviews and RottenTomatoes ranks it at 99% from 137 reviews and it definitely deserves these!! From the beginning, you are thrown back into the world of Toy Story. Like all of Pixar's movies, it is filled with references to previous movies but I don't want to spoil anything. If you've seen any of the Toy Story movies, you will pick up on this very, very quickly! It's extremely funny and does not stop to let you take a breath! It's one joke after another. The only way that this movie differs from the previous two is that there are literally more explosions, fire, and violence. I can say that safely because Pixar and Disney set the movie up so nicely that it completely complements the movie and does not stray from the original feeling of the first two videos.
The movie was well written and the voices and dialogue all fit the characters of the previous movie. I can't get over how well this movie fits together with the other two. I don't want to spoil anything but all the movies are about the toys going places that they don't belong. It just seemed to fit! The last two movies, especially the second, had the characters improvising with their surroundings to get around, fix things, overcome obstacles, and to meet their goal but the things that gang did in this movie are so ingenious, that I've gotta give props to the creators. This movie would definitely change people's views in terms of their functional fixedness. The movie is full of action and mystery throughout and the way that everything comes together at the end is simply amazing. As I watched the climax of the action, I felt submerged into the world and felt true empathy towards the characters. This had nothing to do with the 3D glasses that I was wearing. The 3D only gave the movie depth- What through me into the movie was the plot and story line. This movie offered 3D but wasn't made for it. I hate watching movies that were made for 3D in 3D because the writers specifically write to put people into situation where things go flying towards the viewer. Disney did not do this. The let nothing stray them from writing an amazing and exciting movie for young and older viewers alike. There were no cheesy jokes in this movie. They were all original and all funny. There were a few times whenever they do things that would be funny for kids, but only if you were older would you fully understand the joke.
The movie's ending is so dynamic and so powerful, I have to dedicate a paragraph to it...
Unfortunately, I'm not going to spoil it for you, but I will say that this ending is the best ending I've ever seen for a movie and the best ending to a series that I think I will ever see. It was sad, happy, and powerful, all at once. One moment you're happy, then you're just shocked, then you're sad, then you're laughing, then you're happy, then you're sad, and then you laugh again. XD It seriously was a roller coaster. XD I almost cried but I laughed the whole time.
I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone! It's written extremely well and stays true to the Toy Story legacy.
EDIT: As a last note, the song at the end is Randy Newman! How awesome is that?!
Humor: 10/10
Plot: 10/10
Graphics: 10/10
How well it stays true to the franchise: 10/10
How well it stays true to the previous stories: 10/10
Fun: 10/10
Would I recommend it: YES!!!
Other movies required to watch before this movie: NO!!
Overall: 12/10
