"I'm Nine Inches Tall. For Me, Everything is Up.", Dec 15 2009
By Mark Baker - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: G-Force (DVD)
Ben (Zach Galifianakis) has spent his life working with rodents. And it's paid off. This FBI scientist has figure out a way to communicate with them and train them to go on covert missions. But his funding is about to be taken away. As a last second hail Mary, he sends out his crack team, consisting of a fly, three guinea pigs, and a mole, to infiltrate a house and get a file off a computer.The mission is a big success, or so it appears. The next day, at the review, things go horribly wrong and the project is shut down. The rodents manage to escape to a pet store, but the FBI wants them to keep the entire project completely secret. Can the rodents escape and foil the plot they've uncovered? Or will the FBI track them down first?
I talked into seeing this movie by my roommate. The previews just never convinced me it would be great. And I was right.
Now don't get me wrong. There were some genuine laughs in the film. The mice we meet in the pet store stole the show, for example. I couldn't stop laughing at them. The effects were very well done, too. But the majority of the movie wasn't that great.
The plot was full of cliches from start to finish. That's not necessarily a deal killer for me, but the rest of the movie has to be good enough to make up for it, and it wasn't.
One of the big problems was that the movie just didn't feel like it was going anywhere. There were lots of jokes and pop cultural references, and I felt like they were designed to hide the fact that the plot was weak from us. Even the characters were flat and dull. And I really feel sorry for the humans in the movie who were little more than cardboard characters. Even the dialogue the characters had was so trite it was cringe worthy.
If you can see this movie for free, you'll find a few good laughs. But it isn't worth paying any money for.

Weak Plot & Bad Humor, Dec 24 2009
By David - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: G-Force (DVD)
This was a poor attempt to sell a movie to kids with the technique of animal animation. The rodents were one-dimentional, unemotional, and failed to establish their own identity. Animals sell, and that is what the producer is counting on.The plot was weak and lack any credibility. This was just another "animals being chased by the bad guys out to destroy the world" movie. Haven't there been enough of them made so far? Why another one? The plot lacked a single ounce of creativity.
The graphics were terrible, and void of modern technological advances. The movie relied on hyped up music and singing animals to provide any semblance of entertainment value. Weak!
Finally the humor was terrible. The "jokes" were the type your 80 year old dad told 60 years ago. A little originality would have been nice.
I hate to give a poor review to a kid's movie, but this one was bad. Even the kids I watched the movie with were bored.
Save your money, avoid this movie.

Great for adults too - pure entertainment, Dec 16 2009

This review is from: G-Force (DVD)
I'm an adult and I loved this movie ! It's pure entertainment. I've seen it 3 times now.Some of the reviewers here on Amazon have given this movie low ratings. I'm baffled about this because this movie is very entertaining. The plot is clever and unexpected. The ending is a surprise.
I recommend this movie to anybody that wants to watch something that is truly entertaining.
Listmania!
