When I saw this film in theatres, I expected to see an adult, eye-opening, documentary about the dangers that the dinosaurs faced in life. I expected a silent, serious documentary with a narrator. I was looking forward to seeing this film, and I was like, "Wow, this film looks like an excellent, eye-opening thriller documentary about dinosaurs. It should be pretty cool, right?"
WRONG.
Walking with Dinosaurs 3D offers us an hour and a half of unfunny juvenile jokes, talking dinosaurs whose mouths don't move, potty humor, and poor voice acting. But seriously, TALKING DINOSAURS?!?! The film's characters aren't very interesting, and in my opinion, they completely slow down the story's plot. The film's "narrator" (which is basically some bird voiced by John Leguizamo) is INCREDIBLY annoying. Hell, every single pointless joke that he cracks literally dumbs down the audience! The movie literally opens up with these kids in their uncle's car driving to some fossil site. I thought that they were playing the wrong movie. I was like WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT?!?!?! This is a dinosaur movie, dammit! Then, the obnoxious narrator pops in, and here is where the audience is introduced to the world of talking dinosaurs. About halfway into the movie, some random kid's voice pops in and says which dinosaur each character is and says it's name. Again, completely random and forced. I am not going to say everything about the story since I remember so little about it, but this film is just bad. Although the film's visuals and CGI animation is incredible, this film is very boring, unintelligent, and lacks proper character and film development.
I rate this film a 4.1/10, and unless you are under 10 years of age, this film is a definite miss.
