Harry Potter und die Heiligtümer des Todes - Teil 1 (2010) Beobachten Film

Menacing and meditative, Hallows is arguably the best installment of the planned eight-film franchise, though audiences who haven't kept up with previous chapters will be hopelessly lost.. There's plenty of humor, plenty of magic and even a bit of romantic stress, although there's also quite a bit of mulling and standing about.. The trouble with Harry, as becomes clear from this seventh and penultimate installment, is not that we have lost the plot -- the film is as tangled and as corkscrewed as...

Zoom - Akademie für Superhelden (2006) Download Voll

Cox falls down three times, Allen belches and Chase gets covered with buckets of green snot. Scenes keep ending on non-jokes like this exchange: 'No way!' 'Way!'. The director of Zoom is Peter Hewitt, who also directed Garfield. Nothing more to say about that.. The under-achieving Zoom resembles nothing so much as as a subpar episode of a failed Disney Channel teleseries.. A crashing, thudding dullness infects every moment of Zoom.. Zoom is a movie that you've probably seen several times already...

Kung Fu Panda (2008) Online-Streaming-

The animation is dazzling, so lovingly detailed you can make out individual hairs on the titular beastie, and full of bright Chinese images.. The animation work is dazzling; it's lovingly detailed without being overdone (particularly the opening sequence, which is hand-drawn and looks like prints struck from ancient woodblocks).. The movie has lean, to-the-point simplicity, which is refreshing in an era when so many films take needlessly bloated, talky routes into their story (for more on this, ...

Jagdfieber (2006) Streaming-

The film wraps mindless cartoon violence and a few fart jokes around life lessons about friendship and responsibility. Kids should like it; parents won't mind it.. [A] summer-weight but winsome basketball fantasy.. This is a lot of fun and Lil' Bow Wow, now calling himself Bow Wow, is very charming.. One of the biggest surprises in this first full-length film from Sony Pictures Animation is how funny Ashton Kutcher is as Elliot.. For an inaugural effort, Open Season ain't bad, but the studio sho...

Operation Nussknacker (2014) Film Abspielen

The small-town setting of a half-century ago is beautifully animated by director Peter Lepenotis and his team, and there are some nicely staged old-school action sequences.. Someone spent a lot of time making the architecture and production design match the era. Grandparents getting dragged to "The Nut Job" will be appreciative.. Pretty much everything in this South Korean co-production is slightly undercooked, lacking the same degree of sprightly wit or dramatic punch regularly found in A-list ...

Die Abenteuer von Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014) Download Film

Fifty years ago, animated entertainment was a lot quieter. But that was my "Mr. Peabody & Sherman." This is someone else's. And it should give them, and even a few open-minded parents, almost just as much giggly fun.. Mr. Peabody & Sherman is slight, but it's exceedingly charming, making good use of a talented voice cast that includes Stephen Colbert, Leslie Mann, Mel Brooks as Freud, and Stanley Tucci as Leonardo Da Vinci.. Happily, the fallout results in Peabody, Sherman, and Penny all getting...

Turbo - Kleine Schnecke, großer Traum (2013) Online-Streaming-

It's only disguised as fun.. There are many more delighted 'Ewwws' than too-easy 'Awws' in this charming, if a tad cynical, feature from the creators of Coraline and ParaNorman.. You know we're in serious trouble when even old pros such as Michael Caine and Luis Guzman can't do anything with the uninspired and unfunny script.. Sincerely tries to pay homage to the likes of Jules Verne and Robert Louis Stevenson but is too contaminated by today's tame sensibilities to make it fly.. [A] totally off...
