Unpopular opinion alert!
I was really excited about this film and lots of people I know watched it and loved it. I was very underwhelmed by it.
Soul is a story of life, redemption, finding a path and jazz music, through a series of mismatches and mistakes, Joe finds himself mentoring new souls on their way to their loves and ends up with one who just does not want to play ball! However, the lead - Joe is pretty unlikeable for most of the movie, 22 is pretty much annoying and apart from a few funny moments it is far too preachy for my liking.
Personally, I think it is too deep for most children and not funny enough for adults, but I'm going to be told how wrong I am about it so bring it on!
Pixar works well when they have a large dose of comedy and heart with a touch of making you cry but lately, they seem to be going for the water works above all else and that makes me sad as they aren't doing their extraordinary writers and animators justice.
Sorry, I wish I didn't have to be bothered to give this a score, I mean if they can't be bothered to give me a good film!
