Take my word for it, or better yet go find out for yourself: Big Hero 6 is a treat. Read full review

With a film this funny, exciting and visually stimulating, who cares if you know exactly what's going to happen next, and when. Read full review

If there is any complaint to be laid against Big Hero 6, it is that the team itself takes a back seat. The story is primarily about the relationship between Hiro and Baymax. This is not a negative comment because the relationship between the boy and his robot is endearing and effectively told. Read full review

The visuals are splendid. Even close-ups of face and hair are something to marvel at. Read full review

An action adventure that puts brain ahead of brawn as a valued commodity is always reason to celebrate. Add in the considerable heart that Baymax contributes (with elements borrowed from both “WALL-E” and “Up”), and you have a winner. Read full review

Therein lies part of the dissonance with this often-wonderful, deceptively strange movie. You could get emotional whiplash watching it. Read full review

Big Hero 6 even has a title that sounds like a product ordered off the takeout menu of the type of restaurant that recombines a few elements in many ways. That could work fine, if any of the ingredients were particularly flavorful. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was amazing. I went and saw it on a whim, because I had nothing better to do. Now I pity the alternate-universe me that didn't see it. The movie had me laughing the entire way through, and I'll admit, I cried when Baymax "died".… Expand

Team up Iron man with dexter (animated not live action), a zealot from starcraft, the flash if he were from tron, and a mix of frozone with poison ivy pitted against a villain that makes Doc Oc look like calamari and you may just come close to how amazing this film was. Geeky referencesTeam up Iron man with dexter (animated not live action), a zealot from starcraft, the flash if he were from tron, and a mix of frozone with poison ivy pitted against a villain that makes Doc Oc look like calamari and you may just come close to how amazing this film was. Geeky references aside, this movie is a gem. I was engaged the entire way through and loved every minute. It personally felt as a scooby-doo meets the justice league, which sounds strange at first until you see it in action. Each character has an actual character outside of being the person with the powers, which I found shocked by since they establish it in a very fluid way in a short amount of time. The main character shows quite the development over the course of the movie, even lashing out at the person who caused him his grief, leading to some very troubling choices. I'm just going to cut myself off before I tempt giving spoilers. Just watch it!… Expand

I loved this movie!!! The plot was fun, suspenseful and hilarious at the same time!!! The animation is amazing, the futuristic theme blows me away, but the plot twists are a little annoying. WATCH THIS MOVIE NOW

Disney has followed up Frozen with another amazing film. On paper Big Hero 6 may seem like an Iron Giant or Terminator: 2 Judgement Day ripoff and while there are similarities and clichés throughout the film the main characters their relationship with each other along with the story are wellDisney has followed up Frozen with another amazing film. On paper Big Hero 6 may seem like an Iron Giant or Terminator: 2 Judgement Day ripoff and while there are similarities and clichés throughout the film the main characters their relationship with each other along with the story are well realized in a way that makes it easy to overlook those details. Big Hero 6 is a great film that provides Marvel fans, Disney fans, and movie fans in general with a great experience rivaling that of a Pixar film. The supporting characters could use some development but with any luck this film will get a sequel that will explore them even more. Until then I will continue to watch this film as I eagerly await the next Disney film as this studio has regained the magic they had in the 90s. Hopefully Pixar can pick up the slack with Inside Out but regardless its glad to know there is animation studio on top of their game again! There is a short at the beginning of the film called Feast its not the best short ever made lacking the awe of Paperman but it is charming. Just realized this year there are three animated films that I loved, which makes this one of the best years for animation ever.… Expand

I have not read the comic. This story was good. Good family fun. Entertainment for all ages. Packed with plenty of action, emotional ups and downs. Played the downs a little too long for my liking. Amazing animation. And, of course, look for the Stan Lee cameo.
