As I liked the first three outings for Wallace & Gromit I was really looking forward to this feature-length movie.
I must say that I was quite disappointed with the whole thing and I didn't enjoy it at all. I never laughed once and didn't even manage a smile, mind you it does take a damn lot to make me laugh, but this movie was not my kind of humour at all; maybe it has something to do with the fact that I have an extreme phobia of rabbits - I'm petrified of the things and a giant one out on the loose is the stuff of nightmares for me, no matter how cute it looked.
What really cheesed me off was that on many occasions you could see fingerprints in the clay characters, especially on Gromit and I thought that made it look very amateur. You'd have thought the film-makers would have worn rubber gloves to avoid such a thing happening. And Wallace's inventions were extremely OTT and ridiculous.
I think this movie was very damaging for the good reputation the Wallace and Gromit features have made for themselves in the previous outings. If this is the best they can come up with now then I would say the best thing they could do right now is call it a day before they damage their reputation any further.
I can see how it would appeal to many people but it just wasn't my kind of thing and was a huge let down.
