This is a tale of destiny. A tale of a supporting character making his way into the spot light. A Tale that is apparently a back story. A tale…well this is not really a tale, more like a review. This is the review of “Puss in Boots”.
So if you are still wondering, the plot of Puss in Boots is a prequel telling the back story of everyone favorite feline. However this story is not without its flaws. The pacing of the story moves rather quickly which creates a very unsatisfying flow. The plot also suffers too much predictability. There is nothing shocking about the story as it pretty much what expect to. So if you are expecting a simple story, then this is the movie for you.
Antonio Banderas returns as Puss in Boots, and his performance is what you expect. The cast is decent, but there is a shockingly performance in this; and that is Zach Galifianakis as Humpty Dumpty. The character was definitive, interesting and was not too predictable. To top it off, Zach Galifianakis finally got to do something that was not Allen from “the Hangover”. Overall, it was a surprising cast because it was not overloaded with stars, and it was refreshing to see.
“Shrek” was known for its witting humor; so it would be expecting to see the same in this film. Surprisingly, the humor was just ok. There were some alright lines here and there, but there is nothing really to talk about. Thought the laughs were not memorable, the movie did make up for in other elements such as having creative dance sequences. That is something I guess.
Perhaps the tale of “Puss in Boots” is not as glamorous as other stories such as “How to Train Your Dragon”; however it is entertaining nonetheless. The film takes it characters seriously and ot does entertain. It is pretty much what you expect from movie about “Puss in Boots”.
