I'm a huge Pixar fan. Movies like Toy Story 1-4, Up, Ratatouile, and Coco are among my all time favorite films... But I started Onward this morning and quit watching about a half hour in. It was so generic and un-Pixar-like. I would've thought it was done by a rival studio if I didn't know any better.

Yeah. Not their greatest, but the ending was moving. I like it a hell of a lot more than Toy Story 4.

Yeah. It starts to pick up the emotions towards the end. This movie seems to be very divisive, but I really liked it.

Too hard to say. I loved the idea and the trailers, but movie overall was kind of “meh” which is how i’ve been feeling about a lot of Pixar movies lately.

It is more or less equally mediocre the entire movie.
The whole half body aspect comes off as extremely creepy.

Energetic voice acting from the cast and the ending were the best things going for the movie. Onward wasn't Pixar at their very best, but it was a charming road trip comedy.

ONWARD features a fantastical character named The Manticore. Her design, her backstory, her current life and her change of motivation are all quite unique. She's paired up with an elf named Laurel Lightfoot and they have some wacky adventures together. I wish they had been the main focus of the movie. Instead, the protagonist is Laurel's son Ian. Don't get me wrong. He and his brother Barley experience a series of funny and thrilling situations and they each have a deep arc, but all of their scenes are a lot less original and memorable. Also, their designs aren't that interesting. They look like 2 humans who happen to have blue skin and pointy ears. Early on, they cast a spell that brings back their dead father's legs without the upper body. They put on... well... things on top in order to disguise him as a full body. I was relieved when they discovered that they had to go on a journey, because if the plot had only been about keeping this secret, it would've felt like an ANIMANIACS segment. Not a bad idea; just not something suited for a feature film. Tom Holland's performance is good. Chris Pratt displays charisma, but he struggles during the emotional moments. 6/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog.I'm a huge Pixar fan.

There's a video essay about how this movie and ROGUE ONE were saved by their endings. I won't post it here, because I don't want you to watch that video before finishing the movie. |

I really loved Onward, but it's not for everyone.

The ending was the only part of this movie that I liked. I don't think it was good enough to save it though. Curiously, Monsters U also had a terrific ending that saved the movie from being completely forgettable and both this and that one were directed by Dan Scalion. |
