Location, location, location. It's Rio! (by lnery) |
"Oh, how wish I was back in my cage, with my mirror, and my little bell"Jesse Eisenberg should be forever grateful that the Oscar-nominated "The Social Network" was released before Rio. That's because his voice as Blu, the macaw, is so distinctive and perfect, that in my mind he will always be Blu. And if Rio had been released months ago, audiences worldwide would think that Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook founder, missed his cage, mirror and little bell. Now, for the movie itself Location, location, location. Because what's Rio, the movie, without pulsating, <more> |
My favourite movie of the year so far (by TheLittleSongbird) |
That in mind, there is more of 2011 I have yet to see, hence the so far bit, but I absolutely loved this movie after seeing it when it came out today. From the trailers and advertising it looked like a bright, breezy and entertaining animation, and in my mind it was much more than that. And I genuinely mean it when I say it is my favourite of the year so far, even surpassing the outstanding if somewhat misunderstood Rango.What I loved most about Rio was its energy. Rio for me has more energy than any of the Ice Age from the same team movies, and its energy is truly infectious at that. Two <more> |
Stupendo Fantastically Fantastic Mind blowing - RIO!!! (by niteshruparel) |
What should I say and where do I start from, this is the most difficult question I can ask myself while reviewing this MASTERPIECE - RIO :- .Talking about this movie makes me smile, satisfies me and makes me feel proud that my decision was absolutely bang on to watch this movie or should I call it BLUE's journey.The movie starts with a very very cute looking baby Blue who gets caught and is being moved from jungle to human jungle. Every scene of the beginning has been shot very well followed with all the cutest scenes ever in the history of MOVIE MAKING.Jesse Eisenberg BLUE's voice , <more> |
Bursting with infectious energy and verve from music to colour to spectacle, this is one heck of a party you'd be a cuckoo to miss! (by moviexclusive) |
The makers of "Ice Age" have decided to take a vacation from the cold and literally venture into warmer- much warmer- territory. Indeed, after three consecutive outings through sub-zero temperatures, director Carlos Saldanha has set his sights on the tropical city of Rio de Janeiro- also the second largest city of Brazil- where summer temperatures often hit a sizzling 40 °C. And what a wondrous source of inspiration this sojourn has been for the Brazilian-born Saldanha, whose "Rio" bursts forth from the screen with unparalleled colour, imagination and sheer energy. <more> |
Cute birdies (by dortolomeus) |
Saw a preview of the movie yesterday, and it was with Norwegian language, which I usually think ruins great movies...but this animated movie was GREAT!! Even in Norwegian :D Can't wait to see it in English, as I think animated movies are better in English. Otherwise you miss out on a lot of linguistic treats.Very, very cute birds, cute story, nice music and fantastic animation! I like the way they include lots of details. Need to watch it again to see them all, I think. Love it! I have also played Angry Birds Rio, which is based upon the movie. And you can clearly see the resemblance and <more> |

In Rio de Janeiro, the macaw baby Blu is captured by dealers and smuggled to the United States of America. While driving through Moose Lake, Minnesotta, the truck that is transporting Blu has a minor accident that drops the box where he is trapped on the road.

Out of the blue, the clumsy Brazilian ornithologist Tulio visits Linda and explains that Blu is the last male of his species alive and he <more> |
Rio-an epic, lovable, beautiful and visually stunning animation (by drakula2005) |
Not many animations like Rio come around these days.When i first saw the trailer and the team behind this very anticipated animation, the Ice Age team, i knew it will be very enjoyable and fun to watch.Seeing a TV spot right now, i remember that it was all those things, but much more as well.The quality of the animation was unique-only two or three movies can still compete with this and those are Tangled, Up and How to Train Your Dragon.But still, there was so much going on in Rio, the birds, the colors, the non-stopping stream of movement, lights, music and songs, around the carnival in Rio <more> |
Colors and Flying (by TourettesPersonal) |
The main plot of "Rio", an endangered bird doesn't know how to fly. It sounds a bit predictable and this plot was already used by many movies. But the core of this film is showing the beautiful place of Rio De Janeiro. The filmmaking was great. Colorful visuals, often hilarious, and decent directing.There is nothing wrong with the voice acting. The main cast, Jesse Eisenber and Anne Hathaway are like the bird versions of them. Jemaine Clement really made his character evil. The rest of the cast, Will.i.am, Jamie Foxx and George Lopez adds more fun to the movie. I just wish Tracy <more> |
Bird Love and Nerd Love (by freemantle_uk) |
The Brazilian city Rio de Janeiro is serving as the setting for two films being released this April: one being a full on action film, Fast and Furious 5, the other being a family animated adventure. Rio is that film and shows that the Fox subsidiary Blue Sky Studios is growing from strength to strength.Blu the Spix's Macaw's Jesse Eisenberg early life is tragic, having fledging from his nest too early and been kidnapped by poachers. Luckily he was adopted by a loving owner, Linda Leslie Mann as a little girl. 15 years later Linda owns a bookstore in the snowy landscape of <more> |
