Audience Reviews for Antz

  • Mar 29, 2016
    While it may be a little too ambitious for it's own good, Antz is a stellar debut for Dreamworks Animation that brings both charming characters for kids and a strong politically charged story for adults.

    Ok this is not a bad film in any way but it's by no means a good film either, I'm not a fan of Woody Allen and his voice doesn't fit this film, Kids will love it but it's just not funny, There's not many funny moments there's abit more adult humour than most animated films, The story was good but it's just not funny compared to A Bugs Life and other films in the Dreamworks catalogue.

    While it is technically stylish, I don't really enjoy Antz at all. It had its moments, but a lot of it was cliched and mostly tried to be too adult for its own good. Animated ants swearing isn't my idea of a good movie. Woody Allen was boring, Sharon Stone was boring, the relationship was boring, the story was boring. At the end of the day, it's just that. A complete bore. Definitely inferior to A Bug's Life and most of Dreamworks' later productions.

    Antz is good but not as great as A Bug's Life which was its prime competitor in 1998. Passable for the kids. It likely won't amuse the adults very much when they discover it is a Woody Allen film done with cartoon characters.
