Movie #1305 "Kubo & the 2 strings" --- still another over rated film --- don't get me wrong , it's very pretty, but I didn't like the story AT ALL! THIS IS NOT FOR KIDS. Let me repeat, do not have kids see this, even though it is now nominated for an academy award (go figure?). The story takes on almost Shakespearian tragedy when his quest becomes going after his grandfather (I'm not giving much away there -- it is said in the first scene that he is in hiding from him. And he has nasty aunties, and his mom is sick, and it goes on and on..... story doesn't really take off until about half way through when the beetle and monkey take over --- their banter is the only thing that kept the story alive for me. There's too much fighting, too much fade to white or black and then no explanation (?) and too many flights of fancy from a more linear storyline --- at least for me. Not my kind of film at all. And I would not recommend it. This one you can skip!
"KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS" PG? worse than that, were they watching this? 3 stars out of 5
