I thought it was really dull. Not much happened that was exciting and it was all really predictable. I laughed and smiled at Merida's brothers and her father (my favorite characters in the movie) but was bored beyond a film with a very small story when the teaser trailers made it seem a lot more epic (I went in hoping for Merida fighting demon bears to save her kingdom and instead got a girl and her troubled relationship with her mother). And Merida just seemed like a really whiny kid to me rather than a free-spirited lead I was supposed to cheer for. In comparison, Tangled (my favorite of the most recent Disney/Pixar films) was fun and exciting, with a lead who I loved and wanted to see succeed in her task.

But thank you for actually asking why I disliked it. Most people, when I tell them I didn't like it and explain why, do indeed jump down my throat and say I must have no taste. You're being very civil and considerate in comparison to others I've talked to. Even one of my best friend's in real life is taking great offense to the fact that I don't adore Brave.

This was pretty much why I wasn't that impressed with it. I remember not being too excited for Wall-E then I saw it and I was AMAZED and watched it three more times. After seeing Brave in theaters I thought it was okay but it isn't a movie I would watch multiple times. It was pretty unimaginative, especially for a Pixar film, and rather predictable. The only big twist was with her mother and that got spoiled for me (on here no less :P ). I didn't really like Merida either and while Rapunzel was a bit more likeable because she was in a sympathetic situation, she was still a sweetheart and spunky. Merida just seemed whiny and stubborn in comparison.

Merida was being whiny and stubborn and stupid. That was the point. She had to overcome her flaws and improve as a person.

That, to me, makes her infinitely more interesting than Rapunzel.

But Merida annoyed me to the point that I didn't care if she overcame her flaws or not. Yes, leads should be flawed but they need to be likable. I didn't like or care about Merida.

That's what I loved about it: Rather than being this predictable "epic" story that every fantasy movie ever, just about, is, it was about the relationship between a girl and her mother. A relationship where both of them were wrong and had growing to do. And mother/daughter-focused movies are so rare.

To each their own, and nothing wrong with disliking it. I just really enjoyed the smaller story and the relationship focus.
