Conventional, predictable, beautiful, and boring. People keep complaining that it would be good if we weren't comparing it to Pixar's other work, but how can you not? 95% of the studio's movies have been great and groundbreaking at the very least, and then they turn out something as flat and dull as this? It is just a disappointment. It is a cute kid's movie that isn't bad, but it is horribly forgettable and only decent at best. Watch it for the lush and moving imagery if nothing else.

Nobody masters the animated emotional-tug like Pixar. Complaints about the story are valid as it borrows much from previous fairy tales, but credit is due to the creators for presenting strong female characters who control each scene they step into. Furthermore, there are none of the trappings of an obligatory romantic interest for Merida, which is quite refreshing. Fast paced action and comedy propel our heroines through this adventure and the animation is remarkable; redhead-lovers rejoice!

Lol @ Pixar, Disney just tore you a new asshole. Whoever urged them to stray away from their winning formula of telling totally ludicrous yet inspiring, original stories in favor of a derivative fairytale needs to be fired at once. I wish the film had matched its visual splendor but instead regurgitates bits from shit we've already seen into a clunky jumble of adventure, fantasy and tired clichés. The best advice I can give you is to leave your kids at the theater and pick them up 2 hours later

It's not Pixar's best but it has planted itself snugly in the middle of a very strong pack of films. It did something that has been desperately needed in films with a high quality mother/daughter storyline. It surprises me people say this is formulaic when there is a princess and no romantic side-plot. Something I've not seen done before (especially in an animated movie).

Mostly disappointing. The movie introduces some cool ideas early on (the bear king's backstory is promising), but then abandons them in favor of a rote and predictable "mother vs. daughter" plot. Also, Merida isn't nearly as badass as the marketing would have you believe. Definitely one of Pixar's weaker efforts.

Having skipped both Pixar films with anthropomorphic cars, "Brave" was their first that disappointed me. Sure, it's because it was "good" instead of "great," but the humor played too broad, the plot was fast and loose. The characters were strong, but missing a lot. It's fun, but it's more of a summer trifle with much less heart than Pixar's best. They shouldn't need narration and musical montages; they're better storytellers than that.

The second worst pixar movie, the first being Cars 2, Brave is a completely conventional story, probably one of the most conventional animated films ever released. With its similarities to 'Brother Bear', you could easily call it 'Mother Bear'. The comic relief is bad, the movie's plot is forced along, with a very slow start. There's a tact on subplot, which doesn't make too much sense, and the movie really does not like the male gender. It looks really pretty, and the characters arn't bad.

I don't really think this got the proper time to shine or the spotlight it deserved back when it came out. It's not top ten Pixar for me, but it has gotten better either a handful viewing (my family loves it). Beautifully animated, with a very talented voice cast and some pretty catchy music. I loved the mother-daughter dynamic.

Brave is more conventional that I would like to say it is, but even with that, it still kickass to most of the princess stories having powerful female characters and avoiding any love story (not just refusing the imposed one, but not choosing any or finding it accidentally). Maybe I expected it was more revolutionary than that and that dissapointed me a bit. Still good and entertaining, but the movie goes down specially after "the little pie".

Not the originality or quality I've come to expect from Pixar (in light of Wall-E and Up), nor a very engaging movie for me personally. The plot seems formulaic and few characters are introduced, almost none of whom are interesting or given significant depth. Even our heroine, whom I support in theory, is hard to really root for because the movie goes through its plot so mechanically we never really relate to her as a real person. I would skip it unless you are a small child.

Hackneyed, contrived, and all-out ripped off from a bunch of other features, including Little Mermaid (troubles with a parent, get a witch involved), Aladdin (the boys food-stealing escapades reminiscent of Abu), Brother Bear (you'll know when you see it), and How to Train Your Dragon (in a way that doesn't even make sense for the character relationships, no less, but is cut and pasted from the movie!). Brave features no great personalities and a very basic clash between mother and daughter.

As is the case with most of the annual outings from Pixar these last couple of years, Brave's main flaw is that it's a Pixar movie, that doesn't feel as wholly original and isn't in the same masterclass as the previous ones. Still; I enjoyed this little fairy tail.

The plot is predictable, and the characters, just aren't interesting and there's no reason to care about them, but it does follow the formula well enough to be passibly entertaining. I might be biased though, since the film was part of what ended up being the hottest date night I've been on in the last 2 years.

The movie is more about the mother/daughter relationship than being an awesome Pixar adventure film I think the movie suffers for it because I'm not a little girl, but, then again, I'm not this film's target audience, so all is forgiven. It's solid Pixar. Not their best work, but certainly far from their worst.

A safe, average Pixar film which conjures up the usual emotions with its usual plot. It contains some rather surprisingly mature humour and also some good music, and voice acting (although it took me a good few times to register the name Merida as not them exclaiming "murder" every so often - damn Scottish accents!) but with its short running time, Brave will make you want and expect more and it doesn't totally deliver.

I was anticipating this more than any other Pixar movie in years. But it was good. The visuals are quite remarkable with lots of lush details that bring the world to life, even with the cartoony design of the characters. It skews to an older crowd and isn't a film for young children, which may throw some people off. It also has some pacing problems, and an uneven plot that can give the audience whiplash. Still, it's one of Pixar's better films.

After Cars 2 and now this I fear that Pixar's focus has changed from being entertainment for both adults and children to being purely for children. This is a solid fairytale which grown-ups won't enjoy that much. It is beautiful, but the story is predictable and there are very few laughs.

Aye Pixar, that'll do. Not the best of their films, but certainly not the worst. It's looks fantastic obviously, but they've done a very good job of recreating Scotland (I'm a Scottish Highlander so I know). Some great humour and plot. And I wouldn't be surprised if the SNP use the last line in the movie for the 2014 campaign. As with any Pixar, except maybe the Cars movies, highly recommended.

It's not often you see a big studio movie explore the relationship between a mother and daughter. It's a charming, funny, touching, aesthetically beautiful movie that hits a lot of familiar plot points. Seems a little confused about its message, though.

The storytelling is not Pixar's best, but "Brave" is a welcome return to some kind of form after the awful "Cars 2". The rich animation is probably the best of any computer animated movie ever, the characters are fun, if a little flat & although there is plenty of charm, laughs are too few in number. Most of all "Brave" leaves you with the feeling that it could have been much more, that the writers weren't quite sure where to go with it. The result although fun, is Pixar playing it safe.

"Brave" builds a beautiful Scottish highlands and all the cosmetic aspects of Pixar productions - the animation, the music, the voice acting - is spot-on once again. The movie's message of self-determinism is a tad overbearing, and it absolutely borrows ideas from other fairy tales and works of fiction, but the execution of the dramatic and comedic elements is more than enough to propel you through a quick, enjoyable film. Doesn't reach the heights of its sister films, but very good nonetheless.

Feels more like a Disney adventure than a Pixar film with references to 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'The Lion King', but also some cool atmospheric moments of Miyazaki standard. All in all a beautiful film that lacks some depth to rank among the best of its genre.

I'm pretty surprised by the tepid (for Pixar) reviews. Brave is a fun movie that balances its humour with great excitement and drama. It's a fable, a legend in the making. Sure, some of the developments feel a tad forced or contrived, but it's done with such earnestness that those shortcomings are easily forgiven. The themes of struggling to identify with parents (and vice versa) are universal and the evolving relationship at the core of Brave strengthens it all the more.

Pixar is struggling to climb back to the mountaintop they once conquered. They're not quite there yet, but Brave is a step in the right direction. Unlike Cars 2, Brave actually has a heart to it. This is a story an audience can invest in with characters we can care about. That also makes the dumbest jokes look like comic genius compared to the best in Cars 2. Brave is only lacking that extra punch that's sent Pixar's other works soaring, but I liked it, and I hope the studio keeps climbing.

Pixar is a victim of their own success here, because I really believe that Brave is a fun touching film (visually gorgeous too), but it adheres very closely to fairy tale trappings. I think people expected it to be a fairy tale, but a subversive one - and Pixar plays it mostly straight. By most standards it's still a very strong and fun movie about the mother-daughter relationships, but by Wall-e, Up, TS3 standards, it doesn't hold up as strongly. But it's still very good! Score is not a grade.

Thoroughly enjoyable family fantasy adventure is a little overly familiar in its bones, but the subtle spins here and there keep things fresh – it’s nice to have a well written generational conflict between mother and daughter driving the story, and the casting of Connolly and Thompson gives ample room for some lively banter between the two, made even sparkier when Coltrane is added to the mix. Doesn’t take off into the stratosphere like the best of Pixar, but it’s still great fun.

Even though it doesn't eschew certain cliches, it's a very enjoyable and increasingly immersive film with a powerful female lead, positive messaging, a bunch of big laughs, quite a bit of suspense, loads of unexpected cuteness and a moving finale. The climax does focus more on family bonds than female empowerment although it's the latter that's at the core of the story, so that might be a minus if you're looking for something even more powerful, yet it's undoubtedly an all-around very good time.

Arguably one of Pixar's lesser efforts, but it did win an Oscar for a reason. Initial viewing didn't have this at a memorable point, but it faired well in the second viewing. The animation looks spectacular for the time but the story doesn't have the heart and emotion, that their more popular efforts have. Perhaps it was far too traditional from what we have come to expect.

This is a gorgeously animated film with special attention devoted to MacDonald's long flowing red hair. Her character in general is delightful, and it's an entertaining movie with an important message about parent/child communication. Still, for a Pixar film it's a mild disappointment, largely because it seems to borrow most of it's plot and characters from your standard Disney princess film, with the important difference that the plot is not geared around the quest for a love interest.

One of the weaker Pixar movies. The story idea is nice, the visuals amazing and the score hauntingly beautiful. Still the mother/daughter story doesn't deliver and remains uninspired. The characters seem interesting when introduced but they don't really change. The movie tries to show us that both characters grow but we don't see that happen, the movie just tells us. Lazy story writing. And for the fun of it, count how often characters fall/stumble/bump into something. You'll never stop.

Though the narrative has its problems and certainly could've been better handled, the overarching themes that the movie's going for are what make it both memorable and worthwhile. The setting is beautifully imagined, the voice acting is great, and the animation is vivid. Combine all of that with a likeable cast of characters, and the story's missteps can be forgiven in favor of the strengths around it. An original, refreshing, and very worth watching entry into Pixar's library.

Now, this is one movie that a parent can appreciate. I love Celtic culture so it started on a high note with the lush environment and wonderful music. The animation was really cool also, particularly the body language of Bear-Queen. After getting exposed to many "find a prince" Disney movies, the more liberal message of this one is also appealing.

Brave was one of the few disney offerings that is absolutely solid from beginning to end. Disney hit it big for a few years with a solid string of animated projects that are both solid stories and encouraging to all audiences. Voice talents aside this film could have been cast with unknowns and still carried the same message but the talent involved sure does elevate it to another level.

This PSI thing is good. Was expecting it to be higher but it seems my fellow reviewers agree with me on this one! Probably the worst pixar but still not bad by a long way

The first Pixar fairy tale film, which is also the first Pixar film with a female protagonist, begins with a fantastic first act that is full of potential. Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald) is a young Scottish princess and a skilled archer who is completely disinterested in living the life of a princess. She is the antitheses of the type of female lead that appears in most classic Disney and contemporary non-Pixar Disney feature animation films.

This movie was beatifully done. With fantastic animation and graphics. The storyline is amazingly empowering and the music makes your heart soar. I enjoyed this movie a lot. But the flaws in it are as follows. Merida is a great character but her father seems rather shallow he doesn't really act like a parent and I guess there are pros and cons to that, but he seems shallow only ever taking about his leg and never really raising his children. but it is always a wonderful movie that will reach you

Annoying lead that made the entire movie terrible to me. Literally is the reason for everything bad and they pretend that she carries the movie back. No.

Brave is one of Pixar's weakest films, but it's still a quality film that feels more like an old-school Disney movie than Pixar film.

With an abundance of potential from the fantasy setting to the wonderfully vibrant animation, one can't help but be disappointed by 'Brave's' insistence on formulaic (albeit technically competent) storytelling.

Although not as stunningly successful as Pixar's run of masterpieces, it is still an excellent film with a touching mother-daughter story line, thanks to both an emotional resonance and beautiful visuals of the Scottish highlands. The shift towards broad humor and by-the-book plotting are worrisome trends, but Pixar still has a knack for making me tear up at the end.

The self-conscious "girl power" mission statement movie that isn't much more than that. It isn't terrible, it just should have had a hell of a lot more to it than that, particularly considering how good Disney's recent female-friendly efforts have been. Through most of Brave, I honestly find myself wishing Merida would just shut up and listen to her mother.

Brave might not be one of Pixar's best movies, in large part because it sets up adventurous expectations that it then ignores in favor of a more personal, dramatic story, but it's still quite a good effort and definitely worth seeing. It's a fairy tale that subverts some of the tropes in an attempt to do something fresh, and it's almost worth seeing just to see how Merida's hair physics work. Seriously, they're that good. Brave is another success from Pixar Studios, and it's well worth seeing.

I was interested to see how Pixar would do fairytale, unfortunately it's just another disney comedy. The style's cool and the animation mostly really good but it plays so safe I lost interest.

Beautiful, creative, fun. You don't often (ever) find a film where the two main characters are both female (and aren't competing for a male), or one that explores the complexities of a relationship between a teenage girl and her mother. One of my faves from Pixar.

Which brings me back to something I wrote earlier: We've come to expect a lot from Pixar. Ever since the release of Toy Story in 1995, the studio has dazzled us with some of the finest, most family-friendly movies ever. In this humble reviewer's opinion, not even Disney in its golden age (1939-47) or renaissance (1989-2000) can match Pixar's present run. All of which sets up Brave as a bit of a disappointment ... except in the area of its familial lessons learned by both mother and daughter.
