This film review for ‘Around the World in 80 Days’ is one that goes into just how fun the film is. Following the opening of the film we are introduced to our main characters and how they meet. This event kicks off a wild globe-trotting journey. Following an invention going off the rails, the institute of sciences bets him he can’t circumnavigate the globe in 80 days. Thus, he sets out with his new assistant to do just that. The movie is for kids, and it shows, but so what.
First, I’d like to say that the film plays out well, even if it isn’t what was expected. Second the cast of the film makes it an entertaining film overall. There are visual gags as well as vocal ones, and they are relatively smart. Next, the plot is full of conflict because the bet becomes known worldwide. This, plus a stolen Chinese statue, causes a lot of conflict between the main characters and their enemies. Honestly, I can say that the plot itself makes some sort of sense and is just fun to watch.
In Conclusion for this Film Review for Around the World in 80 Days
While this film is made mostly for children, anyone can have fun with it. I can honestly put this film on right now and be entertained by it yet again. There is of course issues with it like rushing through or sudden plot development. Regardless of that, I can still have fun watching it over and over and I feel most other people would too. I would definitely recommend someone watch it at least once in their life.
