I think I'm going to watch Toy Story 3 for the first time this weekend.
Wait, is this the right thread?
PREPARE FOR TEARS!
Toy Story 3 *Spoilers* may follow:
I didn't cry. There were two parts I found touching. The "hand holding" and the box at the end.
I know I'm a cold hearted, senile old man... but when was I supposed to cry. I mean, when did everyone else cry? My wife was a little weepy at the end (the box) but why was that so sad? She said it was sad because Andy was growing up.
And here's my short short (one runon paragraph!) review of TS3- I was disappointed. (I know, a big surprise coming from me). I thought Lotso, a toy who wanted to be loved, wasn't and therefore was taking it out on other toys and trying to force them into serving him, was mostly a retread of the Prospector. I thought, "No one believes Woody when he's telling the truth. AGAIN." was too similar to the other movies. And the "Buzz thinks he's a space ranger" segment was played in both other movies. I enjoyed the "great escape" parts of the last half, but frankly it was similar to Woodly planning the escape at the end of TS1. I thought they should have focused more on the "Toys should be selfless- be there for [Andy] when he needs them and not think of their own playtime" vs "[Andy] chose to be selfless and give the toys to someone who would play with them" angle. It was there, but nothing really put a head on it, in my opinion. The best part to me was the crazy opening. I wish more of the movie had been like that. It was awesome.
