Review: Puss In Boots (2011)

Films like this are always hard to review as there really isn't much to say. Puss In Boots is the very definition of average. There is nothing tremendously good or bad about the film. The story is nothing new and the voice acting simply gets the job done no more, no less (Zach Galifianakis is the closest to a memorable performance). The writing is enjoyable at moments, agonizing at others (the Fight Club and James Bond references are great, if not cliched at this point). Some jokes land, while others completely miss. The one thing that's exceptionally well done is the animation, which unfortunately is the case for every other CGI animated movie nowadays. Overall, Puss In Boots has some really nice moments and some really underwhelming moments. It's neither good nor bad.
