claymation movies that are just ok are still better than anything illumination entertainment puts out
LucyJan 30, 2018I’m going to be honest, I have absolutely no idea why people are giving this low ratings. I loved it so much. I can’t think of many reasons why I loved it so much, I mean the storyline is extremely basic and predictable. BUT ITS SO MUCH FUN. I’m thinking about it now and it…

There’s a joke in this where a Bronze Age man is seeing sliced bread for the first time and he says “Sliced bread? That’s the best thing since....well......ever!” because of the phrase “the best thing since sliced bread” and let me tell you I laughed far, far too much at…

matt lynchFeb 21, 2018Ever have the experience where you really like a creator and want to root for everything they do, but you just can't? This is that. This is one of those children's movies that feels completely harmless, but bland as tapioca, and so familiar that it was like I'd watched it…

JUNIMATION III: REVENGE OF THE GOOFY GOOBERS Look, I have to give it to the studio, as they come up with a quite creative story. I mean, cave people who have to defend their culture and all by winning a football tournament is simply original. Not something anyone can get…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineJun 29, 2018It’s, ya know, a kids’ movie. There are some fun jokes and clever slapstick here and there, but it saddens me that claymation is such a deeply ambitious and time-intensive genre and yet all it’s ever used for is stuff like this.
H. ColeyFeb 19, 2018The latest stop-motion animation film from Director Nick Park had me smiling the whole time, but failed to deliver a story with a lasting impact. Early Man is basically a sports/soccer movie, where a group of cavemen are fighting to reclaim their home after being kicked…

I live claymation this is probably not my favorite (I like Wallace and Gromit/Shaun the Sheep better) but still can appreciate the artistry and wholesome story. Cast is lowkey stacked, didn’t realize until the end credits. Story was predictable.
6.3/10 Decent movie that’s actually pretty funny. The plot was pretty simple but it turned out well. The voice acting was on point and always is with claymation. I just don’t have much to say other than pretty good. Not a waste of your time

Hilarious! Love all the references to modern idioms (best thing since sliced bread, invention of the wheel, etc). More people should be seeing this!
Not their best work, but just geared more towards children thid time around. Overall fun family movie
Metacritic
It’s impossible not to laugh at the inspired silliness and charm of Park’s universe. Early Man is a family film that doesn’t just provide gags for adults and gags for children: it locates the adult’s inner child and the child’s inner adult. It’s a treat.
A primitive concept (cavemen play football) generates unsophisticated laughs in an animated caper that’s fun but rather second division by Aardman standards.
As ever with Aardman, the cleverest moments are also the most fleeting.
