Purists may still quail at the little bit of anthropomorphism going on, but it seems a small price to pay to broaden the audience for a family film that seeks to do more than just entertain. Read full review

Educational content, clever and photorealistic dinosaur CGI, and John Leguizamo voicing a prehistoric bird. What else would one need for a fun movie stew? Read full review

“Walking” takes care to ID each new dinosaur species introduced, including factoids about what they ate and any special skills they might have had. It’s downright educational. Just don’t tell your kids that. Read full review

For a film that purports to love dinosaurs, this bigger, flashier Walking With Dinosaurs sure doesn’t trust them to be interesting enough to carry five minutes of a movie without the copious aid of slapstick and bathroom humor in a screenplay so rote it makes creatures that have been dead for 65 million years feel less fossilized than the jokes.

Poor John Leguizamo, who hopefully got well-paid to voice a stereotypical Latino bird providing a stream of nonsensical narration. Read full review

However well-intentioned the movie may be, it spills over with flat cutesy humor, making a slog out of an experience that should be filled with wonder. Read full review

It was maddening and frustrating to watch so much ambition wasted on delivering such lame junk. Very young children, I suspect, will like it, but the closer viewers are to puberty, the less likely it is to hold their interest. Read full review

This is a great kids movie with plenty of humour & my son & I really enjoyed it. I liked that they paused every now & again to identify the different types of dinosaurs, making it educational as well.

It's one part educational with impressive visuals, and one part goofy kids movie with irritating voice overs and dialog.

For every time you learn about how a dinosaur acted or what their name meant, your going to have to deal with the lame jokes tossed out by the characters who just won't shut up. As far as the humor goes, only the youngest of audiences will get any laughs. Older audiences like myself will be left rolling their eyes. It makes for a great movie for the young dinosaur fanatic in your house, but that doesn't mean you'll enjoy watching it with them. While I appreciate that the film tries to each kids as much as it tries to make them laugh, the history lesson and childish humor don't mesh together in a way that will make this all that entertaining for their parents. Adults might get a slight kick out of seeing some cool dinosaurs looking great on screen, but this is one for the young dinosaur lovers. The younger the better, and there's not necessarily anything wrong with that. My total score for the film is a 6.4/10=Okay.… Expand

Walking with Dinosaurs is such a terrible movie!!! The dinosaurs in the movie were so cool, but then they just ruined the effect when the dinosaurs' mouths don't move when they talk! Either way, what they supposedly say when they portray the dinosaurs sounds incredibly idiotic for a dinosaurWalking with Dinosaurs is such a terrible movie!!!

This could’ve been decent. The animation was nice and this film could’ve been a nice, relaxing experience even if the dinosaurs were CGI. I enjoy documentaries and this one could’ve been no different. Unfortunately, this was ruined by the dubbing. Now dubbing the film was bad enough inThis could’ve been decent. The animation was nice and this film could’ve been a nice, relaxing experience even if the dinosaurs were CGI. I enjoy documentaries and this one could’ve been no different. Unfortunately, this was ruined by the dubbing. Now dubbing the film was bad enough in itself as it clearly feels tacked on and takes you out of it but to take a step further this is bad dubbing. Think of those Dragonball Z abridged videos except with none of the whit. The dubbing makes this film painful to watch as it is generic and cliché and gives us the most basic of stories. Had this film not been dubbed it could’ve been a nice little film but as is it is awful. I wouldn’t recommend watching it unless you have toddlers who couldn’t care less but if you want to watch it get the DVD as it has a feature that turns of the dialogue. Its amazing how far the dubbing goes in making this film torture to watch but it does and the opening and beginning of this film was pointless and stupid.… Expand

THIS MOVIE IS ONE OF THE WORST MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN. I left the theater early and I have never done that in a movie before. The trailers should have showed that it wasn't some documentary narrated by some british dude But an annoying kids movie. DON'T SEE THIS MOVIE.

If I could give this a negative 1, I would. I was a huge fan of the classic TV shoe on BBC, but this is just plain stupid. It's a waste of time, believe me. Whoever made this movie obviously never even heard of the show.
