ashes03 says "funny" about Bolt

ashes03 — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 23:05:50 GMT

Bolt is a great movie. My husband and I took my four year old son to the theater to watch it, we all loved it. Bolt has a great story and is very funny. My husband even liked this movie and he never likes cartoon movies. I went and bought this movie the day it came out to purchase. Right now it is over at grandpas house, because he likes it too. Bolt is a great family movie that all the family will love. The only thing about this movie is that there are a couple jokes that small children might not get. They are not inappropriate.

mrkstvns says "Weak. Very, very weak." about Bolt

Bolt is a disappointing movie with a weak story line and poor execution. A dog is led to believe that his "person's" life is always at stake and that he has superpowers. One day he escapes only to find that he's just a dog. He befriends some rodent looking thing who lives in a glass ball he can evidently easily escape, and imprisons a poor defenseless cat.

There's little comedy in this kids picture, which mostly bores the poor children in the audience (not to mention their dads too).

Can't think of anything particularly memorable about this snoozer and loser.

Skip it!

Latisha22 says "Amazing movie for kids and adults alike" about Bolt

Bolt is exactly the kind of movie that I am looking for when taking my children to the movies. The movie kept a good pace, had a good amount of action, and was funny. It had a great story line without adding in unnecessary adult situations, humor, or swearing. I have recommended this movie to everyone....

patikin says "Bolt is incrdible." about Bolt

I knew I was going to love this movie! I'm the kind of movie lover that many times waits for the movie to be released on DVD and then purchase it for my collection. This is one that I should have seen in the theater when it was released. I really cheated myself out of a great night at the movies. I purchased Bolt the day it was released and couldn't wait to watch it. The beginning of the movie showing parts of Bolt's real-life movie were action-packed and full of all the movie magic we all expect. Bolt's genuine belief in himself is very heartwarming. He's just too cute. Watching him try to prove he really does have super powers only to start to realize it's all a hoax was almost tearjerking. As he learns what it's like to be a real dog, he becomes even more loveable. The other characters are entertainin and I couldn't get enough of the pigeons. The country pigeons at the end should do their own short movie.

I have a 3 year old son that loves cartoon, what kid doesnt. We watched this one last night and its not bad. Overall I would give it a 4. It lost my attention 1/4 of the way through but my son watched it all the way through and so did his dad. Great family movie though.

fourandcounting says "Over my little ones heads but didn't matter- they love it" about Bolt

fourandcounting — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 22:06:10 GMT

Thank goodness, a movie for kids that my kids can watch. No potty jokes for me 1,3,4 and 6 year olds to repeat. A little helicopter shooting action at the beginning that might scare certain kids. Was very surprised how much we all liked Bolt. The jist of the moviie was a little over there heads but there was plenty to keep them excited and wanting to watch it again. And it is NOT annoying, very nice for one we'll see several times!

I give it four stars because even though we loved it I don't think I'd buy it. We rented it and watched it twice before returning it. Great story with cute animation. It's cute too.

jlshad says "Bolt makes me think I'm watching a Pixar film!" about Bolt

jlshad — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 03:49:07 GMT

Bolt on DVD is exciting and fun and all the things you hope for in great movie. The story is completely original and great to see unfold. Usually the Disney Studio 3D movies don't have the punch that the Pixar films do...this one is, I hope, the beginning of greater things for the Disney brand. Great Animation, fun characters, original story.

The voice actors are first class with the superb John Travolta leading the way. Miley Cirus does a great job with her first voice-acting job, my only comment is that at times she sounds too old for the character she plays. Rhino the Hamster is in danger of stealing the show, but the directors wisely keep him in check and bring him out for story emphasis not just to add a laugh (see Bedtime Stories for inappropriate use of Hamster-Comedy!)

See Bolt! See Bolt! You'll love it!

I wasn't too sure about Bolt before we watched it. After watching Bolt the reviews in our house are great! It is a fun movie with many twists and turns. This is now one of my sons favorites. Bolt teaches a lot to it's viewers while adding comedy that can adult can enjoy! It is definately a movie I will tell everyone about!...

GrandmaIsGod says "BOLT is an awesome movie that is perfect for any age." about Bolt

GrandmaIsGod — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 03:57:11 GMT

Bolt is an awesome movie. I went to see it with my 22-year-old son and we enjoyed ourselves to no end. We were previewing it to see it the grandkis, age 2 & 4, would like it and I can't wait to take them.
Disney has another great hit on their hands. John Travolta plays the voice of Bolt an adopted dog who ends up on a movie set and thinks hi is a real hero. He is the man (dog) that is always saving Penny (voice of Miley cyrus), his girl, from the man with the green eyes and his goons.
Bolt thinks that he is a superhero and has "superpowers" and when he "escapes" the movie set that has been his life and gets out into the real world none of his "superpowers" work. During his journey back to find Penny, he meets up with a cat named Mr. Mittens and a hilarious hamster named Rhino. At first Bolt believes that Styrofoam packing peanuts have caused the loss of his powers but he soon learns that he has no superpowers. He finally figures out that he is a hero even though he does not have "superpowers"....

The new animated movie, "Bolt", was another terrific effort by Disney. My two boys loved the movie and my husband and I enjoyed watching it too. The hamster named Rhino was hilarious! A definite must see!...

I took my grandkids, ages 5 and 6, to this movie when it first previewed. They loved it! Especially the 3-D glasses! I must admit I enjoyed it too. Perfect family movie. We would definitely see it again!...

LaurieM says "This movie is worth "bolting" to the theatres to see!" about Bolt

LaurieM — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 20:08:11 GMT

A few weeks ago I took my two sons ages seven and eleven to see the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua. During the previews, the movie Bolt was featured and my children were in stitches over it. All they kept saying is how they wanted to see that movie when it came out. I enjoyed it as well and wanted to see it too. We finally got a chance to go see it this weekend and I have to say, it was quite entertaining!

The Plot

The main characters are an adorable white dog named Bolt (voice of John Travolta) and his owner who is a young sweet girl named Penny (voice of Miley Cyrus). It starts with a puppy later named Bolt being adopted from a shelter by Penny. Penny just happens to be an actress in a TV show about a dog who has superpowers and protects her from the "man with the green eye" and his goons. Bolt, being brought up on the movie set of this action TV show truly believes he has superpowers and isn't aware that he and everyone around him are just actors. Bolt is separated from the studio and...
