OMG . . . . whoever wrote that review ought to be shot.
*is currently pissed after reading the review*

*Warning: Rant ahead*

I can't believe it. That is the most degrading thing I have ever read. Yeah, the reviewer is an idiot IMO, for dissing one of the best DTV sequels out today. And compared it to WQ, as well? What the heck? I mean, sure, Aleu's not in this one that much (but she didn't have to be the main character in this story, since she got her own some time ago), but it's Balto's movie . . . . And Kodi, well he's a great character. More interesting than Aleu, in a strange way. If anyone else reads that review, prepare to flame someone! (Just kidding . . . please don't really flame anyone)

This is what happens when a Balto fan reads something that really pisses him/her off . . . . .


:angry:
I've already seen that review. I can't believe that there are people who can find it boring, and not WQ. There are so much thing happening in this one compared to WQ, that it's completly nonsense. At least, he could have reproached the not so good animation, but making critics on the story is completly stupid.
I'm also afraid of seeing that this guy loved Ocean's eleven, because I HATED this film, one of the most boring films I've ever seen in my life...
But, he also gave the same (bad) rating to Mulan 2, so he has enough proven his unexperience.
Eh, I didn't find that review all that bad. It could've been worse, and I'm sure there's worse reviews then this. But I'll throw in an angry face just because. :angry:
To Steetboris: You actually think Balto 2: WQ was boring? (Forgive if I misunderstood your last post). I didn't, i loved balto 2, but anywas, back to the discussion.

I just read that review, and i was really stirred up by what that fan said. I'm not that agrivated as you were Juuchan17, but i was however speechless. I mean really, what that person said, about B3 being boring, that idea is nuts. I believe this information from the person is colmpletely false. I really didn't like the review (let alone the fan). I think that the person who wrote this was on drugs when the person was watching the movie (only beause the person had nothing else to do). Oh well!!! :D

Wolfen~ is not happy. :(
No, Wolfen.  He's just saying that other fans are saying that WQ is boring.  I thought all 3 of the movies were fun to watch.  

*~Dayami... Can I touch my tail now?~*
OHHH!!!!!!! OOOOOPSSS!!!!!!!!! Now i understand, sorry about that.

Thanks Dayami, you really helped me out.

Wolfen~ is hungry. :D
I didn't care for the only Kids will like this movie comment :angry:  Because I loved the Movie(And "Balto 2" as well), And I am an Adult!

I agree. I'm considered an adult too (currently 19), and I love animated movies. Really! <3 *LUV* <3

Sorry if that made me look like I was really pissed (even though I really was), but I was shocked that someone would actually think that about WoC, which in truth is a much needed improvement from WQ but still was as enjoyable as all of them combined.
It's sad that this reviewer gets paid to write crappy bad reviews for a wonderful movie that is worthy of so much praise and other stuff . . . . Yeah. All because it's an enjoyable movie. If this guy was bored by WoC and "enjoyed" WQ, I wonder what the heck he thought about the original film then?

This gets an angry face from me too. :angry:
There are some parts of WQ that I find boring, yes. Not the all film, but to me there are more boring parts in WQ than in the two others.
That doesn't mean that I don't like it, though. But I still think that WoC was a big improvement over WQ, and seeing a man like that saying the contrary make me really surprised. As I said, I wouldn't have cared if he would have criticized the animation side, or even the "Boris & Stella" part of the film (which he did, actually), but I really can't understand that someone can find it boring. And about the age, that's also a wrong argument, since everyone on my site liked (or loved) B3, and the average age on my forums (from a survey) is 16.
Balto 3 is just for kids? In my forum there is a 43 years old man who really liked Balto 2 and 3. Maybe that man was dead drunk when he wrote the review.
:angry:
Well, everybody has an opinion. In my opinion, their opinion sux, but hey, nothin' I can do about it, just sit back and watch angry fans fume. Hehe. That's always fun. :p

There is no need for You to apologize about Your opinion. After all The One Who wrote that review didn't apologize for what They said.
OMG, its probably the first time i saw a critic for the movies. I dont find anything bad in them, except for a bit in WQ.
You guys have gotta remember that a review is someones personal opinion which will be written based on their feelings and if they enjoyed a movie or not. Not everyone is going to enjoy a Balto movie and if an adult doesn't enjoy it then it is easy to say "it is meant for kids" or words to that effect. When I watch a Balto movie I will be biassed about it because it has Balto in it. That will be the only reason I watch.

I thought Balto 3 was a huge improvement on Wolf Quest, I never did say WQ was a bad movie, it had a lot of bits and themes I was just not into (like singing mice, becoming one with trees and magic in general) but it was nice to see Balto back again. The main difference between WQ and the original for me I think is I don't know how many times I watched the Original, I don't think NASA could calculate that but I could count how many times I saw WQ with my fingers. That is all my personal opinion and no one should appologise for something they believe in
Very well said, Fluke. ;) Same here.
yes you are right fluke.
Yes! I agree you with you Fluke. A review is based on a person's opinon, and we must respect them. Like you, i act in the ame way before i watch the movie. I can say that i enjoyed it, but i cannot guarantee, that someone else will. I do however disagree with, about the parts in WQ that you believed was boring. I enjoyed the singing part in WQ. Anyways, this review was not the best, and it was the first time i saw a critic for one of the Balto movies. :D

Wolfen~ is hungry. :laugh:
I never said bits were boring in WQ I just said I wasn't into them.. meaning they didn't do anything for me
Opps. Sorry for misunderstanding your last post. :D  I guess i didn't read ot so well. :laugh:

Wolfen~ wags his tail!
That's okay, Wolfen.  I misread some posts as well.
I don't understand how people can critize WQ.  I thought it was a movie that was something after the first movie.  I always wanted to see what would have happened if Balto and Jenna mated.  And it happened.  I don't see why people are doing such a thing.  If people would've looked closely, it would take something out of you.  (Nonsense babbing)  

Anyway, I thought WQ was interesting.  My friend Tylesia and I thought that it was a cute movie.  She still has to see WoC yet, she really wants to.  

(Talking about nothing is what i do for fun)

DAYAMI
Thanks Dayami. It's okay if you misread some of the posts (i do anyway). I also agree with you on how people reacted to WQ. I really can't believe there are actually people out there who thought WQ was boring. Ohh well. Anyways. i hope that your friend Tylesia will see WoC soon, to me I think WoC was better than WQ. And i also like to talk about nonsense. :laugh:  It is actually quiete fun. :laugh:

Wolfen~ thinks hard.

Same Here. Balto And Jenna having Pups is something I would've liked to see in The Origanal "Balto". So dispite some Story points I disagree with. I loved "Balto 2" and thought It was a Great movie
I agree with you SimbasGuard. Balto 2, was a great movie. :D
I wouldn't say it was a great movie, especially if you compare to the original. To be honest I didn't really like the actress who played Aleu, I found the mouse annoying, the magic side a bit silly and the whole thing aimed more at children. It was a good movie but only when viewed on its own and not against the original, you can't compare really. I did enjoy it but if I had seen it before the original, I probably wouldn't have wanted to look into the story more
Well, I hope that the reviewer isn't TOO offended by what I had to say.  It's only the truth...I calls 'em as I sees 'em.  The name of the site is very fitting-I'd like to slap the (you know what) that wrote that review.  :angry:

Nick
I didn't enjoy B2 a whole lot either; for the same reasons as Fluke mentioned, and the one liners were pretty weak. The other thing I disliked about B2 is how they had that whole "I was trying to protect you" deal; which reminded me way too much of Disney.

I've re-read that review and I still don't understand why some people are taking it so seriously. So he found B3 a little boring, so what? The only thing I didn't like about the review is when he mentioned Alue not having a bigger role in B3; considering the movie had nothing to do with Alue, which I'm glad they didn't considering I don't like her. Now if only they'd taken out those two stupid polar bears..

Very true without the Original there could be no Sequel, I too wouuld have liked the original voices to come back. But I do think "Balto 2" did work as a Sequle :)
Fluke you are absolutely right it is his opinion. (one of my uncles was in a concentration camp in Romania in the comunist era for expressing his opinion,  and he didnt have beautyful memories, God bless him anyway because 2 years ago he passed away, he had 86 years old)
 Anyway i dont agree with the part "adults will be bored to tears", because he cant read tought's.

P.S. Hope i didnt insult anyone with the remarque about expressing opinions in a comunist state.

Well I'm An American, But I was not insulted by anything You said.
*rolls eyes* Can't rely on critics most of the time. I can't recall the movie right now but it was reviewed in the paper and it wasn't a good review. But as far as I can remember the movie was awesome. I wish I culd remember which one though...ugh
