Re: Finding Dory

I liked it well enough, but I found it pretty forgettable. It seemed like a lot of the same plot as Finding Nemo, such that I could see kids enjoying it, but I couldn't really get into it. I thought Dory was good and Hank was great, and the rest was eh. I disliked the over the top ending, which might have soured it for me a bit too. Basically, I see it as much more of a movie only for kids vs a lot of Pixar's other works.

A line from this review kinda sums up how I felt about it. "“Finding Dory” can be described in exactly the same way as its title character: good-natured, funny, optimistic, darting from place to place, ranging from anxious to frenzied in tone, and unable to sustain an idea for more than a few moments."

This quote (from this review) works too. "The colorful characters don't entirely hide the fact that this is a lesser Pixar film, coasting on Finding Nemo's popularity, and telling a too-similar story that isn't as ambitious or emotionally intense. Stanton's script is cleverly built around flashbacks that fill in Dory's history, but the frantic action between revelations is just killing time, and it rarely integrates organically with the rest of the story."

And this too. "I want to be clear: A lot of people who loved 2003’s Finding Nemo will pay to see this new follow-up and walk out feeling like they got their money’s worth. But it’s not Toy Story or Inside Out or even Nemo. What it is is a perfectly enjoyable family film that’s comforting, familiar, and a bit slight, like one of those serviceable Lion King spin-offs that Disney used to ship straight to DVD back in the ‘90s." From this review

I don't think I entirely wasted my money, especially because the animation looks really good on the big screen, but I was hoping for so much more and I was let down.
