What a pleasure it was, walking down to the theater, eight pieces of a Hershey's Symphony bar hidden in my pocket, about to see Legend of the Guardians. After watching the before movie adds about various businesses in Angels Camp, Adds for new movies (including a 3-D Yogi Bear movie! Yes, a 3-D Yogi Bear movie,). And one short film starring Wile-E coyote, the Road Runner and Two government owned heat-seeking missiles, I was ready to see what Hollywood did with one of my favorite book series. My patience was rewarded with one of the most epic films since Star Wars Return of the Jedi! The CG used in this movie was exceptional, and in 3-D! The battles where incredible! You have not seen a battle unless you have seen armies of owls attacking each other in midair with metal claws! The parts in Slow-Mo that where inches away from the metal sheathed talons of the Pure Ones and the Guardians where very intense! But there is more to this movie than battles. The beginning scene in Soren's hollow when he was playing with his little sister was sweet. I bet my mom would have loved that part. There is also the scene where they reach the tree of Ga'Hoole and train to become Guardians. The whole movie was beautiful despite it being based off the first three books in the series. And as a bonus, there was Owl City music in the movie, and the Credits!
