Reviews for "Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Wererabbit - a Masterpiece of Stop Motion Animation"
1. Susan - 2 out of 5 stars
I found "Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Wererabbit" to be quite disappointing. As a fan of the previous Wallace and Gromit films, I had high expectations for this one. However, I felt that the storyline was lacking in originality and failed to capture the charm and wit of previous films. The characters felt one-dimensional and the jokes fell flat most of the time. Overall, I found it to be a forgettable addition to the Wallace and Gromit series.
2. James - 3 out of 5 stars
While "Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Wererabbit" had its moments, I can't help but feel underwhelmed by the overall execution. The animation and visuals were impressive, as expected from Aardman Animation, but the story felt disjointed and lacked the cleverness that made the previous Wallace and Gromit films so enjoyable. The humor also seemed to cater more towards a younger audience, leaving me feeling let down as an adult viewer. It's definitely not a bad film, but it didn't live up to my expectations.
3. Emily - 2 out of 5 stars
I was really excited to watch "Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Wererabbit," but it turned out to be a letdown. The plot felt contrived and predictable, and the jokes were often forced and fell flat. It lacked the charm and creativity of the original Wallace and Gromit shorts. While the animation was well-done, it couldn't make up for the lackluster storytelling. Overall, I was disappointed and felt like the film didn't do justice to the beloved characters of Wallace and Gromit.
