You gotta watch 'Legend of the Guardians' ~

 

When i first knew about this movie,

I had absolutely NO interest in watching it !!

I kinda "Judged the Movie by its Characters" when I watched the trailer and saw all birds inside and thought, "How can a movie with BIRDS be interesting???"

And then last week i kinda accidentally had to watch this movie because the movie my friend and i originally wanted to watch was unavailable yet (Alpha and Omega).

I was like "Oh man...hello birdies~"

And the 3/4 empty cinema was not helping at all.

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of the Ga'hoole

My synopsis of the movie (no plagiarizing),

Soren and Kludd are young owlets who grew up listening to stories of The Guardians told by their father. Soren in particular was immersed in the stories but Kludd was more of a realist who didn't believe in it.  Both Soren and Kludd were practicing how to fly in the tree of their nest one day when their parents were out hunting. They fell to the ground and got "birdnapped" by two fierce looking owls. They were brought to Metalbeak's lair along with many other owlets who were birdnapped. 

Metalbeak is the actual bad owl from the stories of The Guardians. He got defeated by the legendary warrior, Lyze of Kiel and now he wears a mask to cover the scar he received.

The owlets were birdnapped there to be trained to be soldiers for Metalbeak. Kludd denies to be Soren's brother when he was asked and so Soren and his new friend, Gylfie were sent away to be "pickers" while Kludd is to be trained as a soldier. Soren and Gylfie eventually escapes Metalbeak's lair with the help of Grimble.

This is getting to be very long winded.

OK !!! Long version SHORT !!!

Soren meets more new friends and together they set of to find the guardians. Instead of finding the guardians, the guardians found them and they were brought to the tree of Ga'Hoole. Soren tells the guardians what happened. They receive training to be guardians while other guardians fly off to battle with Metalbeak before they get attacked. But the guardians have a traitor among them. Soren finds out and he flies to rescue them. 

A fierce battle takes place and Soren reunites with his brother Kludd. They fight. Kludd breaks his wing and is thrown into the fire. Soren then goes to find Metalbeak for a fight. He emerges victorious and the bad owls retreat. Everyone returns to the tree of Ga'Hoole where Soren and his friends gets pronounce as Young Guardians of Ga'Hoole. But towards the ending we see Kludd emerging from the flames with glowing red eyes and he sees Metalbeaks body and his mask. 

 

Soren reunites with his Mum, Dad and little sister Eglantine in Ga'Hoole.

You obviously can tell whose good and bad by their faces.

I, was so into the movie !!!

The effects of the owls flying was like WOW !!!

It felt like watching in 3D !!!

I bet 3D will be even AWESOME because you'll see the claws coming slashing out of the screen like SWOOSH right in front of your face. And the slow motion part is very very VERY COOL !!! Seeing the claws slowly stretching out and the wings flapping...the details of it all are so DETAILED !!! And last but not least...I WANTED TO SQUEEZE THE OWLS !!! They look so fluffy and soft and CUTE !!! 

Remember, DON'T judge a book by its cover.

You HAVE to watch this and just in case, 

Here's the trailer of it.

 

The song for this is called "Kings and Queens" by 30 Seconds to Mars.
