Kubo and the Two Strings
CHASE ***1/2
Being impressed by the past Laika films, I was expecting something great from "Kubo and the Two Strings," and I was not disappointed. While it may not be as good as "Paranorman," I thought it was a standout film. The story is about a young boy named Kubo who's on an adventure with a monkey and a beetle while being chased by an evil force. The animation is the movie is gorgeous to look at. The aesthetic of the visuals and music is pleasing and feels like such a breath of fresh air compared to most movies that we have today. On top of that, they did a really good job with the characters and the action sequences, making them really stand out. It has a good sense of humor and a lot of heart to it. The only things that are holding it back are the climax of the movie which could've a been a little bit stronger and that the jokes could have had a little more punch to them. But outside of that, I loved this movie and those who want to see it will not be disappointed.
