GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
GravityLoudHouseLover1 Norm of the North is a really stupid movie about a polar bear Named Norm Played By Rob Schneider who wants to save the arctic from an evil businessman who wants to put condos in the arctic which is stupid. Norm Has these lemmings who pee in a fish tank and in a plant. This Movie is stupid & pandering it's not as bad as The Emoji Movie but it's still really stupid & Forgettable & the Animation is really bad & some of the joke are really dumb for a Family Movie. 1/10
Richard G. This movie is an affront to God, good christian values, and all that is good and holy. The people who made it will rot in hell for what they did. It is unthinkably horrible. If you watch this atrocity, you will find yourself asking God what humanity did to deserve this.0/10, the U.S. government should imprison its creators.
benjaminweber First of all, this is not the absolute worst animated film. The voice acting is mainly good. A couple of the jokes are okay too, but may have occurred by accident. There, now the positives are out of the way, let's look at the negatives.This film is horrible to look at, which is a bad sign for a visual medium. A lot of the characters move in a horribly jarring way, especially the villain, who moves like Mr Fantastic from the Fantastic Four having a seizure. This effect is amplified when they speak and move at the same time, since the line deliveries are clearly intended for a non-Woody Woodpecker character. Throughout the film, it doesn't quite seem like the characters themselves are talking. Then there's the character design. This ranges across a full spectrum, from laughable to just unpleasant. Onto the writing! The idea for the story is not that bad, but it is not well executed. It feels drawn out for what it actually accomplishes. Aside from the story, many of the jokes fall flat, or actively detract from the viewing experience, particularly the lemmings/fake minions. There are comedy accents for no reason, sometimes so poorly done it becomes impossible to tell which accent they were meant to be. Overall, this is just bad. I would give it a 3 or 4 out of 10, but there were two factors at play to stop me. Firstly, this is far too ugly for a visual medium. A film can be poorly made without being actively unpleasant just to look at. Secondly, this film has an inflated IMDb score due to fake reviews by the studio, following in the footsteps of Saving Christmas and After Last Season before it. As such, I'm giving this a 1/10.
Oliver Thatcher Watson This is easily one of the worst animated films I've ever seen. With so-so CGI, stupid story, weak premise, and semi off sync voice acting, it's hard to think of a lot of other animated films being any worse. It tries to be funny sometimes, but it never is, and the film makes literally no sense. The whole idea of a freaking polar bear somehow boosting home sellers ratings in the Arctic of all places is literally one of the dumbest things I've ever heard, and I thought that Cars 2 had a stupid story, but this somehow makes that look like a masterpiece, which is quite the feat. The story also has no good flow. The transitions seem lazily done and the amount of choppiness and repetitiveness will more than likely make some viewers regret not watching anything better, which a lot of other films besides this would be. I don't like bashing movies, but I must warn everyone about this poor excuse of a kids movie that should have never played in theaters, as it has no reason to exist since there are so many other movies that kids would not only enjoy more, but get much more out of than this. I honestly can't recommend this film to anyone, as its dumb story and not so great CGI and voice acting make this film is in no way good. Kids and adults are all better off watching something else, as this is a film that should have always stayed on DVD.
