Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
NerdyNinja49 El Dorado isn't going to tug at your heart strings, but I thought the film was very entertaining from beginning to end. Migel and Tulio are unique characters and very lovable. I also liked the inclusion of some more adult themes, like the relationship between Tulio and Chel. The animation is great, very fluid with the inclusion of some computer graphic elements. I wish more animated films now-a-days had that kind of animation. The soundtrack is also very good. The musical numbers weren't especially memorable, but they didn't detract from the story and the instrumental music by Hans Zimmer and John Powell is fantastic. Overall, I would say The Road to El Dorado is a very underrated film.
davorinlonac With animations so wondrous and setting so fantastic, The Road To El Dorado is a perfect film. Tulio, Miguel and their horse Altivo set sail, map in hand, in search of golden treasure in this all star adventure! Upon landing on the shores of El Dorado, the legendary "lost city of gold", Tulio and Miguel are mistaken for gods and are lavished with riches beyond their wildest dreams. This film will leave you loving every moment. With a great musical score by Hans Zimmer and a gripping story line, this film never let's up in laughs, action and adventure. It is a very under- appreciated film and shockingly doesn't even make a 7 here! I don't know who rates this but surely they'd need to rethink. There is only one bad thing about this film, it didn't install a sequel which I think everyone knows was wide open. And so that concludes my review on this, a greatly made film!
webberrules I watched the film on DVD, but I got really bored for the majority of the film, I did not even finish watching it.The story was very poorly done, I did not feel much adventure and all in all it was really boring. The worst part of it is Miguel and Tulio stayed in El Dorado for the majority of the running time. If the title is "The Road to El Dorado", they should have made Cortez and his men trying to make Miguel and Tulio stay on the boat to Cuba, arriving in Cuba, doing penal labour there, and escaping from Cuba, so that they continue their journey to El Dorado, and last but not least, Miguel and Tulio finally arriving in El Dorado should have been the ending of the movie. That way, the story could be up to the name of the title, as well as more excitement and adventure. And if there was a sequel to the movie, Miguel and Tulio would become Spain's richest men, where they could help give money to the poor or something like that.On the positive side, the music by Hans Zimmer and John Powell was good, the voice acting was excellent, featuring Kenneth Branagh, Kevin Kline and Jim Cummings as Miguel, Tulio and Cortez respectively. The beginning of the movie was one of the best scenes I have ever seen in a DreamWorks Animation film and is also memorable and very exciting where we see Miguel and Tulio playing a sword fight, running away from the bull and later running away from the guards, as well as going on Cortez's boat, with Altivo the horse helping them escape, as well as being on an escape boat stranded in the middle of the ocean, but when they arrived in El Dorado, it's all downhill from that scene onwards and the film got really boring.Overall, this film is not worth watching as it shows a story that could have been so exciting and memorable that actually turns to be out boring and forgettable.
chucky There are many movies that you feel very good watching. This tops that list for me. The colors and the witty dialogues are a treat right from the opening song. Forget what the critics say about the movie, its the ride that you will cherish. And this movie will put you in the front seat! The movie is filled with songs, which is great for any animated film in my opinion.With memorable characters, smooth plot, music that makes you wanna sing along, and above all the animation that just hooks you to the screen is worth every minute of it. Unfortunate that this kind of movies are not coming these days.
