Early Man

LANDON **1/2
I've always enjoyed Aardman Studio's animation and style.  Stop-motion animation and British wit are a charming combination.  While "Early Man" isn't quite as good as the likes of "Chicken Run" or Wallace & Gromit," it's still a decent addition to their library.  Like I said, the animation is awesome and fun to watch, it's irresistibly charming and witty, and there's a cast of likable characters here.  My only real gripe with this film is the plot.  What seems like a unique movie about cavemen vs. bronze-men turns out to be a movie about....soccer?  Yes, that's right.  At the end of the day, this is a soccer movie disguised as a caveman film.  It's surprising, and not really in the best way.  It's cliched and rather disappointing in that sense.  Again though, this is still a decent film.  There's plenty to still enjoy about it.  Just don't expect to come out loving it.
