Featured review
If there is something positive that I can say about this film, it is the voice acting that seemed respectable to me and the story did not seem bad to me, but it is a pity that I cannot say the same about the animation and visual quality. In fact, I think this movie would have done much better if it had been made by Japanese animators or a more professional studio. The character design passes in some scenes, but they deserved better development. Another flaw that I noticed in this movie is that they tried to infantilize it. I say this because the story suited more for an animated action movie and even more for trying to make it anime. In fact, some elements that characterize anime are action, serious moments, and deep plots. The bad thing is that it seems that they reduced those elements in this movie to give it the tone of a children's movie that it has and that doesn't fit very well with the plot and image that they tried to give to this movie because I think that with those elements it would have been much better and maybe I would have overlooked the animation and quality. I feel that this film deserved a better development, structure, treatment and team because the story has a potential that was wasted and poorly captured. In conclusion, Bolívar El Héroe is a film with good potential that was wasted and an interesting proposal that was poorly achieved and developed. I always say that the plot and concept matter more than the animation or drawing style, but even the animation and drawing style also deserve some treatment and the truth is that it seems that this film was made without passion or desire and I think that that's why this came out. Typical case of doing something just for money or marketing or ratings without taking into account what can go wrong, so no wonder people didn't like this movie because to be honest it's a bad animated movie that could have been better and unfortunately its interesting plot does not save it from being what it is now. In short, a bad animated movie with an interesting story that deserved better and that's why I rate it 5/10. If it's any consolation it's that this movie is now considered cult, so I guess that's at least something.
