Die Piraten - Ein Haufen merkwürdiger Typen (2012) Online-Streaming-

That the film happens to be in 3-D, with digitized settings and backgrounds, doesn't detract from the timeworn charm of watching blob-like characters lurch erratically through harebrained comic pratfalls.. The action is beautifully staged, delightful, and exciting.. The movie looks meticulously crafted, of course, and is consistently, drily amusing.. A curiosity cabinet of visual pleasures but so breezy and lightly funny that you may not realize at first how good it is. (You're too busy grinning...

The Lego Movie (2014) Film-Streaming

Ben Stiller and crew go for the easy laughs, spackling the cracks in their armor with a cavalcade of marquee-name cameos and one dizzying action scene after another.. I stopped laughing because after 20 minutes, I'd had enough. The conceit gets stale fast.. The best part is what the movie has to say about conformity -- following the instructions on the box -- versus creativity, i.e. life as a jumble, an inspired improvisation, a joyous hodgepodge.. Ben Stiller, Steve Coogan, Owen Wilson, Ricky G...

Chicken Run - Hennen rennen (2000) Streaming-

The level of invention on display, from the vividly detailed models and figurines to the gallery of memorable supporting characters, is astonishing at any length.. It'd be churlish to carp about this triumph of craftsmanlike technique.. . Were Larry and Andy Wachowski just really, really lucky when they made The Matrix?. I love the look and the style and the spirit of this film.. More than the story of the Racer family, Speed Racer is the visual autobiography of the Wachowskis and their pit crew...

Home - Ein smektakulärer Trip (2015) Download Film

A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!. Tim Johnson ( Antz) has capitalized on DreamWorks' proprietary animation platform, Apollo to create a rich, intricate setting...But the technology doesn't save the film from falling flat on other levels.. The combination of Home's layered message, fun score, and clever comedy make it a colorful choice for moviegoers of ...

Nachts im Museum (2006) Online-Streaming-

Rarely has so much production value yielded so little in terms of audience engagement.. ... an aimless and riotous mess.. . The special effects are far more inspired than the comedy in Night at the Museum, which strands several generations of performers in a highly derivative script and hackneyed direction.. The movie, despite some lavish special effects, feels perfunctory and generic. Kids may well enjoy it (the 7-year-old with me giggled all the way through); adults may squirm.. What a dull, n...

Harry Potter und der Feuerkelch (2005) Beobachten Film

Whenever it hits its stride, it's a well-acted, vividly executed, full-speed-ahead special-effects extravaganza that puts as much bang as possible into every remaining scene.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and it’s thrilling to behold.. Music perfectly fits w...

Gregs Tagebuch 2 - Gibt's Probleme? (2011) Online-Streaming-

A film about as funny as a seeping wound.. A brisk, reverent, and subtly different sequel.. This follow-up seems so similar to the 1953 Disney classic that it makes one long for a geriatric Peter.. Preceded by a 1957 Pluto short, Never Land is a warmly nostalgic throwback.. For the most part this is a collection of set pieces that movies have served up many, many times before.. They've wimped out.. There follows a fusillade of farts, dud sight gags and inconsequential butt jokes.. No one but a c...
