Reviews for this film from our members:
- José Arce @ LaButaca.net [Spanish]
- Excerpt: La primera fusión animada entre Disney y Marvel queda como una película notable, pero no brillante. La magia inicial da paso a los fuegos artificiales y a la diversión para la chavalada, y lo cierto es que tampoco hay que pedirle más.
- William Bibbiani @ CraveOnline
- Excerpt: For all the fanciful superhero hijinks Big Hero 6 has to offer, for all the many hilarious jokes and genuinely breathtaking action sequences, what Don Hall and Chris Williams’ film captures best is the heartbreaking-turned-heartwarming emotional journey of its Hiro.
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: A lively and creative animated film about a robot with heart, empathy, compassion, and gentleness.
- Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
- Excerpt: This doesn’t top Pixar’s “The Incredibles,” but doggoned it if it doesn’t come close.
- Samuel Castro @ Ochoymedio.info [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Disney toma una historia de Marvel y la convierte en una aventura simpática y divertida, que mezcla elementos culturales y tecnológicos de forma original.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: a terrific film in its first half, where screenwriters…have rejiggered the characters into a bunch of science and engineering geeks, but once its super hero aspects kick in, the film becomes derivative and tedious.
- Andy Crump @ Paste Magazine
- Excerpt: Thrilling, well-crafted set pieces are only one aspect of what makes blockbusters like this tick. The bond between a boy and his android makes up the rest.
- Edwin Davies @ A Mighty Fine Blog
- Excerpt: Beneath the surface of the film’s sleek design and seamless animation (not to mention the fact that a futuristic setting allows it to exist separately from the continuity of the MCU) the shift away from live-action gives Big Hero 6 a different emotional tone to its predecessors. In short: being a cartoon allows Big Hero 6 to be both goofier and more earnest than Iron Man et al.
- Tony Dayoub @ Cinema Viewfinder
- Excerpt: What is lacking is the grander scale and more meaningful themes of animated classics like its closest predecessor, Pixar’s THE INCREDIBLES.
- Carlos del Río @ El rincón de Carlos del Río [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Big Hero 6 me parece que está bien, aunque no comparto la euforia general, ya que aunque visualmente es sobresaliente, con unas escenas de acción increíblemente buenas, y de tener muchísimo encanto y ser divertida, el guión es bastante flojo.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: The humor and especially the charm are slowly but surely drained from the proceedings, and in their place, Big Hero 6 supplies only routine and formula.
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: ‘Big Hero 6’ is exactly what you would hope for from the collaboration of Disney and Marvel, both visually and narratively.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Bouncy and beguiling, it’s family fare that values brains over brawn.
- Steven Greydanus @ National Catholic Register
- Excerpt: May be a bit too glib to reach the heights of The Incredibles or The Iron Giant, but if you can’t have Brad Bird, this is pretty much the next best thing.
- Vadym Grygoriev @ kinoblog.com [Ukrainian]
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Baymax conveys so much with so little. His expressionless face is two dots connected by a line, but his sweet innocence comes through in every scene.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Joyous and exhilarating. A fresh and funny animated adventure that subverts genre clichés at every turn.
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: A Scooby-Doo mystery wrapped in 21st century robotics.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: Big Hero 6 not only has what it takes to be a witty, vibrant, lump-in-your-throat entertainment enjoyed by kids and parents alike, but the fact that it has a heart as big as Baymax makes it that much more special.
- Oktay Kozak @ Oregon Herald
- Kristin Dreyer Kramer @ NightsAndWeekends.com
- Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
- Excerpt: “Big Hero 6” scoops up a little known Marvel comic property and turns it into an entertaining, sweet animated affair.
- Alan Mattli @ Facing the Bitter Truth [German]
- Excerpt: It offers a welcome spin on the established Marvel formula. When its spotlights are on its characters, ‘Big Hero 6’ shines brightest.
- Simon Miraudo @ Quickflix
- Stefan Pape @ HeyUGuys
- João Pinto @ Portal Cinema [Portuguese]
- James Plath @ Family Home Theater
- Jamie S. Rich @ DVDTalk
- Excerpt: It takes just about every comic book cliché and throws them into a Pixar cuisinart and tries to make something new and family-friendly via melding the various Disney brands, but what comes out the other side is dull and predictable and lacking in any clever spin on the material.
- Jerry Roberts @ Armchair Cinema
- Excerpt: Of all the recent Disney animated features Big Hero 6 is the most engaging. It’s a fun little movie that meshes a Pixar-style animated adventure with a palette borrowed from anime, while cashing in the billion dollar superhero juggernaut that the Disney studio is currently making possible.
- Diego Salgado @ IGN España [Spanish]
- Tom Santilli @ Examiner.com
- Excerpt: The best part of Big Hero 6 was the touching, heart-warming short film, Feast, that preceded it, that tells the tale of a dog’s life. There was more heart and emotion in that five minute film than in the bloated entirety of Big Hero 6.
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: Basically a genial, good-natured boys’ adventure, and if it stumbles somewhat in the second hour, when it becomes more derivative and action-oriented, it remains likable to the end.
