Overrated and overhyped

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

For a long time I've been debating on whether or not to see the movie. Then I found it on my Apple TV for a cheap price and thought " Why not" and I was blown away by it. One of the best parts was the characters. I've grown up with a few of these characters, and seeing them in a different way, like a Russian Santa or an Australian Easter Bunny, was really great and I got to learn about other characters that I didn't know about( Jack Frost and the Sandman) and to see them interact with each other and being happy and seeing them kick butt and I loved them all. The vocal actors were amazing and brought more joy to the movie ( Chris Pine, Hugh Jackman, Jude Law to name a few). The animation was beautiful and so detailed. I loved Jacks backstory and his playful personality. I laughed and cried. I would recommend this to anyone and to anyone with kids,if they believe in Santa or not.

I heard when this one bombed it nearly took dream works with it. It's not that bad. It's quite enjoyable. I assume it was just bad timing when it was released. It was up against the likes Brave and Wreck It Ralph that year. Which are all time classics in my house. Give it a go. My kids 6 and 9 were hooked all the way through. It's not a classic. But it's more fun than The Good Dinosaur. Even though the film features Santa, it's not specifically a Christmas movie. At times it kind of feels like you're watching cut scenes from a kids computer game. But another good solid kids film from the company. I've seen people saying it's the best film ever. That seems a bit extreme. I suppose it all depends on your taste.

only fascinating. proposing a great Jack Frost, using the right way to become memorable, giving realistic character, large doses of tension and humor, adventures, moral lesson, original portrait of duty, friendship and solidarity, spectacular fight scenes and lovely small sentimental isles, it is one of the most seductive animations of the last decade. the explanation is not so easy because its basic virtue is emotion. the manner to be delightful for the inner child . the art to explore an entire universe of symbols, values and believes. the dialogues who are not always comfortable. the North who seems be collection of different fantastic characters but who remains itself. a trip in the essence of childhood. its cold air as precious souvenir.

I didn't see this in theatres when it first came out, I actually got it as a gift from my aunt in March 2013. When I watched it, I was stunned! I found myself engaged by the action scenes, charmed by Jack Frost's backstory, laughing at the jokes, and dazzled by the animation. Although occasionally the story relies too much on action and it can be predictable at times, this film rocks! The elves, yetis and fairies are cute and funny, as well as Hugh Jackman's hilarious performance as the Easter Bunny. Whenever Jack Frost and Bunny argue, it's priceless. Jack's backstory is fully fleshed-out and develops his character entirely. The visual effects and character animation are downright beautiful. Also, I have this on Blu-ray 3D and the 3D effects are some of the best I've seen in an animated film. Rise Of The Guardians is an underrated masterpiece that should've been seen by more people, given it's known as a box office disappointment.
