Rise of the Guardians
2012movie
But Rise of the Guardians has an intriguing premise that makes you wish the writers had spent more time developing the conflict. There’s a fine message at the film’s center about allowing children to believe in such fantastical heroes because, as it were, it’s every child’s prerogative to believe in such superstitions. In this way, it makes sense that Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth) executive produced the film.
Rise of the Guardians. Director: Peter Ramsey. Genre: Family. Running time: 97 minutes."Skittering" may be the operative word here: Rise of the Guardians , made by first-time director Peter Ramsey (who has been working for years as a storyboard artist), is too cluttered and manic to bring real pleasure. There's barely a moment when someone or something isn't flying through the sky, slipping on the ice or hippety-hopping down the bunny trail.
