Just like Quantum of Solace, Bolt starts off with a bang. The early minutes display a pretty amazing action scene and some refreshing early jokes. However halfway through the action is no where to be found and the jokes run out dry. This is where the movie feels its been stretched too long. The second half of the movie focuses on Bolt becoming a regular dog and it’s supposed to be cute. Maybe it’s because I am not much of animal person but I could not relate nor care for it at all. This is where I kept looking at my watch every 5 minutes and kept debating whether or not I should take a nap. I decided not to so as to not miss anything worthwhile, unfortunately there was nothing.

More for the money, less for the art: It seems that Disney made this movie for the pure sake of making money. All movies want to make money but this one just felt as if it wanted to make money and did not care about being delivering on quality. They heavily advertise Miley Cyrus as being a voice cast but she has minimal time in the movie. Not that I would have like more of Miley, but its an example that shows Disney’s intentions.

It really does seem that they did not try hard on this one, instead of smart refreshing comedy with good action scenes, they focused on a cute puppy with large eyes.

Too cliché: The other main problem with the movie is that despite a good concept, the character personalities seem to be borrowed heavily from other successful animated movies. Bolt the dog is Buzz Light year (can’t tell the difference between reality and what he is supposed to believe), the pigeons are similar to the penguins from Madagascar etc.. Rhino the little furry brown fellow steals the show but even his personality of hyper activity and low intelligence feels that it’s been seen before.

Final Word: The movie is thin and the best parts feel like its “been there done that before.” As an adult, this movie is not entertaining. The difference between this and Kung Fu Panda is that of Paris Hilton and Julia Roberts.
