The Legends Unite For The Final RISE OF THE GUARDIANS Poster!!
The Kidd here...
I'm still not entirely sure what to make of RISE OF THE GUARDIANS, the new film from DreamWorks Animation that brings together a tattooed Santa, a jacked-up Easter Bunny, Jack Frost, the Tooth Fairy and the Sandman to fight evil. If anything, at least we'll be getting a fresh take on some awfully familiar characters, but this one has genius or bust written all over it. Middle ground doesn't seem to be in the cards for a film that so drastically departs from the conventions of its well-known characters.
Paramount, who is distributing the film, have released a new one sheet for the film, and, while there's nothing particularly appealing about its design, it'll give you a good collective look at the legends it is bringing together.

At home though. Doesn't look worthy of a trip to the cinema.

Do you live outside of the US? If not, what's with the early morning posts? I didn't think movie geeks got out of bed til midday.

Nope... right here in the States. Working hard, sir. Every day I'm hustling.

Interesting premise... god-awful title. Just a terrible hyper-generic un-palatable marketing-driven brainfart.

so original.

Everything sound's the same these days.

Sounds better than a fucking Ga'hoole remake.

Autodidact is 100% Correct. I'd sooner take my child to a Power Ranger Movie

At least those don't sully the holiday characters, just Japanimation. Fuck This Movie.

February 2002 - Talkbacker "Dingus McVeigh" - It should be called "RISE OF THE EMPIRE"

FACT ual reenactment.

I thought that all Dreamworks animated movies were required to be scored by Hans Zimmer or one of his "pets". Nice to see Desplat getting a shot at one.

Am I the only one who thinks this is the dumbest idea ever? They should have Jesus as a character to round out the cast of imaginary characters.

It screams straight to Blu-ray. I won't be taking the kids to this one.

The Tooth Fairy's amazing power to replace teeth with quarters...
by Smerdyakov
Could provide some really gory special effects.

When I first saw the trailer, I thought this was a very unique interesting take on the same ole same ole type of characters, and looked pretty neat. Theeeeen the girlfriend chimed in... with 2 kinds 5 and under, she follows a much more strict path than I typically would. All she had to see was Santa with tatoos on his arms and this got a big no way. Sooo...that means we'll see about this one. :) Bob

Also, it reminds me that even when the cast is full of fake people, no one wants to put minorities in it. (I'm looking at you, GRAVITY FALLS!)

just a guess but prolly jack frost

this decade. Looks horribly misguided.

Wait, isn't this a sequel to that CGI owl movie that Zack Snyder made a couple years ago?
by lv_426
Wasn't that called Legend of the Guardians or something like that? Return Of The Legends That Rise From The Darkness Can we get some better titles for movies here soon?

I hope he gets smacked in the face by a Santa's elf.
