Thread: Bee Movie not so funny

I took my son to see Bee Movie yesterday. Although the visuals are excellent, especially if you like flying, the movie itself was wildly disappointing in content. But I digress. There was one part where the bees have graduated and are being escorted through the new company on little boats. The announcer says where they are headed - first in English and then in Spanish! None of the bees seem to speak Spanish- it was just a wink at the fact we have to hear Spanish translations in this supposedly English-speaking country. It didn't come off as criticism though, more like an acceptance, maybe approval. Bleah. Even my 11 year old son said the movie was senseless. Just throwing this out there so you can avoid losing your money to this hogwash.

Thanks for the heads-up. One more Hollywood flop I'll be avoiding ...

Yeah, I'll stick with the Seinfeld reruns if I get to missing Jerry too much. Hispandering nauseates me so I 'll avoid that film like the plague, thanks!

If that was a joke in the movie I bet nobody got the humor, and it sounds totally out of context for a Bee colony. I'm not seeing it. Should we rate it one star? *

I saw the movie also and really never need to see it again either. I heard the spanish thing and it made my skin crawl for a moment as if there is really no escaping it, even when I pay to see something!

Basically I saw it as a jewish environmental awareness movie in the guise of a cartoon. I loved the seinfeld show but this movie just had too many 'bits' and not enough laughs or good story line besides 'be good to bees and appreciate their work, which i do already?

I'm sure seinfeld has a new appreciation for dreamworks and pixar after trying to put this thing together. Next time, Jerry, leave it to the pros.

I saw it with my wife and baby boy. Not a bad movie really. I rate it a 3 out of 5. (Somewhat short in comparison to Ratatouille...)

Not a must see...also not a movie you'd see over and over like with Cars, Toy Story I / II or Transformers.

I've seen The Abyss something like 50 times over - darn good movie even though the wear on the tape is starting to expose the obvious sets/structure behind the special effects. Ed Harris when on fire and focused can be a damn good actor up there with the like of Johnny Depp.

The Spanish announcement part in Bee Movie where no one speaks Spanish - kinda saw it as a reflection of what we have today - pandering to what is a market that either doesn't exist or is over-hyped money supply-wise. When in Rome do as the Romans do...that's how it came across to me...

Does anyone else get irritated when movies you set to no subtitles displays everything written on screen in Spanish? It's distracting and annoying.
