[MovieReview] Bee Movie

Bee Movie

Cast: Jerry Sienfeld, Renee Zellweger, Kathy Bates, Oprah Winfrey, Matthew Broderick

Director: Stephen Hickner, Simon J.Smith

"Bee licious movie"-Bezoe

Barry B.Benson (Jerry Sienfield), is a bee that just "graduated" from Bee College, and he is ready to serve his hive. But he is not interested in making honey for his entire life. Barry tries to find another suitable job but can't find one, until one day he gets a chance to see the human world and finds out that humans eat their honey.

Finally, another Dreamworks animation after their flagship release early this year (Shrek the Third). Is "Bee Movie" another great animation feature from Dreamworks? Or is it just another animation that no one will care about?

For the guys who love ultra-photo-realistic 3D animation, you will bee disappointed. There's not as the eye candy of Final Fantasy, or the colorful and magnificent ocean of Finding Nemo, or even the very nice lighting and a very ugly ogre (in a good way) of the Shrek series. But hey, Bee Movie is bee-liciously good!.

The graphics are very... yellow-orange the entire movie, but thats what bees look like, isn't it? All the textures look very simple; they are almost as simple as in Toy Story but the lighting and textures are better. But what I like is, for the entire movie, it is not the graphics we pay attention to, it's the story and the comedy.

The story is very nice and give us a lot of knowledge about the bee world, and why they are important in our human society. If you watch Animal Planet then you might already be well informed about the important role of the bee. If not, then "Bee Movie" will fill in some knowledge about bees. Bee-side the story, the humor is good, hey we have the great Jerry Sienfeld here!

But "Bee Movie" is not the best animated movie that's already been produced. It is not that bad, but it's just not the best. It might entertain a lot of children and teens, but I don't think it will be entertaining for mature adults, unless you love animated movies like I do. In conclusion, it is better than "Shark Tale", but not as good as Madagascar or Shrek. But bee-live me, it's still very entertaining. Try not to miss it.

Overall Rating : B+
