My Review of Finding Dory

        So I recently watched Finding Dory and I'm here to bring you my review. So without further ado...





Finding Dory.jpg

        Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres) is a wide-eyed, blue tang fish who suffers from memory loss every 10 seconds or so. The one thing she can remember is that she somehow became separated from her parents as a child. With help from her friends Nemo (voiced by Hayden Rolence) and Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks), Dory embarks on an epic adventure to find them. Her journey brings her to the Marine Life Institute, a conservatory that houses diverse ocean species. Dory now knows that her family reunion will only happen if she can save mom and dad from captivity.

     

        This was a fun film to watch. Now the first question everyone wants to, is this film better than Finding Nemo and the answer to that is no and that's a big no. This film hist some of the same hallmarks as the first film and some of it felt really repetitive from the first film which made the film pretty predictable. Now while there are a few repetitive moments, there are quite a few storytelling elements that throw you for a loop after you would think it would go another way. This film relied on the same type of humor from the first film and it works well in this film and some the jokes are just spot on especially if you can get the joke. The old characters from the first film are great and the voice is spot and all of the new characters were absolutely wonderful and they were great additions to the Finding Nemo universe. Just like the previous film, the visuals are just so perfect and you truly get the sense that you are in the ocean and it just looks gorgeous. Like most Pixar films, they all pull at the heartstrings and this one has some great emotional moments, but they often go to the well too much and it can get a little depressing at times. Again, the film teaches a lot of lessons for both kids and adults just like the first film and they are all valuable in there own way. Overall this film at points feels like a carbon copy of Finding Nemo, but there are enough newer moments that help the film stand out. I give Finding Dory an 8.5 out of 10.

        So ladies and gentlemen what did you think of Finding Dory, what would you rate it and what did you think of my review? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
